While it is easy to throw tons of accusations and be less civil, I will try maintain my level of decency. I have forwarded you a snippet of one of the emails I received (without the sender name). Also, you are welcome to organize some independent person you trust in NYC to stop by and examine it in person, and I hope that person will be decent not to disclose the sender.
I am still in this chat, despite the witch hunt. Which implies I do want to listen, and civilly communicate. The witch hunt is a fun activity for some, but others do provide useful feedback and comments, and that's why I am still hopeful. Note that the ones who offered specific feedback and suggestions have not spoken yet after the changes, with the exception of @mmd (thanks!) Distorting what? I present my case. Most of the arguments are ignored. Tiny pieces of the emails get blown out of proportion. I said a) why i do it, b) why i think its better than existing system, c) how it makes it easier to review/revert, unlike the current system. And I keep repeating these things from various angles, explaining that at the end of the day, this will make OSM better for everyone. Instead, we are discussing everything but the above.
