How about you start with the first person (Nop), he reverted it
without any discussion, and you are the biggest hypocrite of them all,
you seem to show no bounds when it comes to forcing your opinions of
how people should communicate on others.

What bollocks. I added a notice to the *discussion page* with evidence
why the decision for the 3 day block was taken. It is no fun dealing
with someone so caustic.

As suggested by the #osm irc channel, I think you have misspelt 'whining'. ;-)

Without wasting my time looking at the wiki
this business is as well organised as a schoolyard

Set of rules made by one group, complaints handled by same group,
prosecution handled by same group, judgement made by same group,
punishment handled by same group.

Whether something is attended or not attended is at a whim.
I still do not have an answer other than "I'm busy right now"
concerning a mapper who admitted to copying from google and whose edits
have not been reverted - a 12 month period since I first contacted the
mapper concerning their edits in Australia.

At this stage I'm playing about with options and most likely will not
be making many changes initially to the information that will appear
there... The wikia.com option has to many annoying flash based ads for
my liking, and the sharedmap wiki config is still being tweaked to be
useful...

I am sorry this has come to pass.

It appears that some baby has a burr in their nappy and has taken it out
on you. I really don't know if I care what it was you did - real or
imagined - to provoke this.

However, it does make me a little sorry for the burr.

Master Slater is the single greatest advertisement I know of for not
further associating with the growing canker that OSM has become. Not
satisfied with merely driving away map contributors, it appears his
overweening ambition is to extend this to wiki users.

What next, Poland?

Frankly I'd think twice about using the OSM messaging system, as I note
your (new!) sharedmap wiki page recommends...

Regards,
Tim.
