He got demoted, as written in the blog post, did you read it with attention or you just went through looking for bits you could use?

You can ask the GStreamer people or the VLC people, I started being involved in MPlayer and FFmpeg because the code was not really working on PPC...

We did not took the domain, the owner of the trademark is not Michael Niedermayer.
You claim to know nothing yet you cut quite interesting judgement and you cherry pick in a quite interesting way.

It certainly seems like he had been leading the ffmpeg project until his resignation.
As for looking for bits I could use, I am quite specifically responding to your question about how the article comes across as biased. I was not looking for parts that seemed unbiased, because you were looking for the biased parts.
>We did not took the domain, the owner of the trademark is not Michael Niedermayer
Your own blog post says " the trademark FFmpeg had been given by the owner of it Fabrice Bellard to the former FFmpeg leader Michael Niedermayer"
Which is it? You say in your post he was given the trademark.
>You claim to know nothing yet you cut quite interesting judgement and you cherry pick in a quite interesting way.
You're defensive. You asked a question about how your article was biased. As an outsider, these are the parts that looked biased.
If you ask a question, you can reasonably expect an answer. If you don't want an answer, don't ask the question.
>"insults" is a quite loaded term btw.
Uh. Thanks for informing me, I guess? I'm not sure how you can in other places say "clean up monkey" is horribly offensive, but "rabid fan" is not an insult at all.
I doubt HN is a bastion of ffmpeg supremacists, and there's no organized movement to suppress your voice, so the reaction your getting should probably be taken as an indication that you should undergo some self introspection. Open source projects depend on community support to exist. Libav may be the best thing since sliced bread, but if you drive away potential users and supporters, you are harming the chances of the project's success.

"insults" is a quite loaded term btw.
