I formally request that Joerg Schilling be banned from the LKML
until he learns how to take bugs in his program seriously.
cdrecord has bugs, people hit them, and he won't either fix the
bugs, or hand maintainership over to someone who wants to fix them.

Don't bother banning him, that won't fix anything. Just don't use
cdrecord and ignore his posts until he changes attitude. Anyone
with such an ego will soon notice if he/she is ignored. At least,
if he is still reading the list, he'll see the quirks and bugs
reported.
It's always really easy to use a personal ban (IE: killfile). Just
stick a list of email addresses somewhere and configure a mail client
rule to autodelete all messages from those addresses. My list now
has about a hundred addresses (including Jörg's). If they later
decide to be mature/polite/etc and wish to resume discussions,
they're welcome to create a new email account and start posting from
there.
Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
