this thread was always going to happen....you said yourself on IRC Chris 
Cherrit that you're a difficult guy to get along with; and seems you 
were right.

I don't give a fuck how good you think you are or your team is or your 
"professional team" is, or how tired you all are, or how many "nice 
days" there are in the world... etc etc etc - Davis,Cannam,Schweer,Hohn 
- these are mighty names who between them have build what is clearly the 
best audio platform on earth. And they're  fine examples of the human 
race to boot. Generous,creative visionaries who have seen the potential 
and have given it life. What have you contributed? You've taken their 
work and made some slight changes. To take something from concept to 
reality from scratch, which is what these men have done, that's laudable 
- and it furthers the greater good.

Your OOM wouldn't exist PERIOD if it weren't for these guys. You have 
had issues and acrimonious arguments with virtually all of them You 
derisively attack all who "actively work against" your brilliant 
plans/ideas/visions... I saw how you attacked Tim and Robert and Orcan 
directly ( always telling them to "cool down" and have a NICE DAY!) even 
when they always respectfully communicated to you in the best traditions 
of FOSS.

I for one can certainly live without your project. And I will defend 
these great names when ever they are challenged - by you or anyone else.
