Oh please Russ, I'm trying to stop participating in this thread, but the way you are debating (regardless of your opinions in the debate) is just disrespectful. Your rethorical example ignores the fact that not mass-deleting all those objects is (amongst other things) a mark of respect for a debate that is not resolved (and by the look of things never will be). It does not in any way imply that that person is ok with the objects being in the db. The mirrored hypothetical example of somebody doing a mass-undelete would be equaly ridiculous. You are again and again asking contributors to respect your opinions, without respecting theirs. You insult people calling them vandals and a caricatural view of deletionists. You use all-caps. You threathen of bans. You seem to think that debates like this could only be fully won or fully lost, with no level in-between, and have accordingly not made any concessions to your views. You are not debating. This is not a healthy way to interact with the community. Bans in osm are issued either for vandalism or for repeated and serious community interaction failures. Never simply for making an honest but controversial contribution. Feel free to correct me if you are a DWG member. I don't think that you shoud get a ban, but sometimes I catch myself wishing that you would. Russ, please follow the advice that has been given to many people in this thread already, and give it a rest. -- Vincent Dp _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
