Hi all, This thread is getting unproductive and crossing into personal attacks. Please consider if talk-us is the best place to talk about one person behind essentially behind their back.
If you feel there's a problem with a particular mapper please contact the mapper and the Data Working Group to help mediate the discussion so that it doesn't run rampant and one-sided on the mailing list. Remember that there are lots of people that get these messages and what might appear as defense of the project to the vocal minority might look extreme and intimidating to the quiet majority that want to participate. -Ian (as a talk-us moderator) On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 11:06 AM, Serge Wroclawski <emac...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 11:32 AM, Russ Nelson <nel...@crynwr.com> wrote: > > > His malice is encapsulated in his inability to work with other > > people. > > Furthermore, he makes mass edits.
