Yes, I've looked through your changesets and their discussions. What he said may have been blunt, but I think it's valid criticism, and deserves some friendly discussion before assuming malicious intent. I think there's plenty of room for both of you to be correct, but you have to make space for it. When someone criticizes or changes something I've worked on, sometimes I get frustrated. It's okay to feel bad about being criticized. But I have to set that aside and remind myself that everyone's just trying to improve the map, and I'd rather get along with them and come to an agreement on how to map things. As a result, I have eleven years' worth of amicable working relationships under my belt with mappers all over the country. > Please do not delete anymore river area polygons as that is the proper > way to map rivers.

If you are interpreting that as "I'm right, stop editing" then I think you are assuming he's attacking you. You've now responded to a *perceived* personal attack with actual personal attacks, meaning you are responsible for escalating this from a technical disagreement to a petty feud. Chances are, if you started a collaborative discussion with him about river polygons, you could resolve your conflict pretty easily and get back to mapping river polygons without him or anyone else bothering you. I suggest taking a break from mapping for a few days until things calm down and you can take a second look at this dispute. It sucks to have your work criticized, especially if you're proud of it. But criticism is how we grow and learn, and in a massive collaborative project like OpenStreetMap, it's worth it to see past the personal conflicts so we can move on and build collaborative relationships. Best, Clay
