What would have been the correct means of settling the dispute then? I
tried talking to Blackadder, one of the people listed on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes, and he said "Eventually
you will hopefully reach consensus, if not and it becomes a dispute I
can help you and the other party(s) to resolve the issue amicably."
Where was this help? Was I misadvised?
We have very limited resources that we can deploy to conflict
resolution, and we have to allocate them wisely.
The matter you are quarrelling about is of negligible relevance to the
project as a whole and nobody can honestly expect us to deal with it in
detail from a distance. When Blackadder advised you of the general
course of such things, he had probably not understood the non-scale of
this issue.
I suggest that you ignore Paul's tagging as long as he uses it in his
local area. If you can't manage to do that, maybe try a Yoga class. Cool
down. Paul's tagging sure is quirky but who knows, sometimes these
quirky things lead to something cool built on top of them. If not, then
they will die out by themselves. No need for you to police Paul's
harmless edits *even* *if* *they* *should* *be* *wrong*. Do you know the
saying "the wiser head gives in"?
This is the very last comment I'll make on this issue because it becomes
hard for me to remain polite. The next thing either of you is going to
read from me is the ban message if you continue your edit war.
Bye
Frederik
