Re: [Talk-transit] Conversation on this list (was: Proposed Feature - RFC - Public Transport)

Top tip:

Tell people how you are feeling, not what you think of them.

If you tell someone they are a  then their reaction will be
hostile; if you tell someone that you're finding the proposal a bit
too complicated to understand / fit in with existing practice, then
they're a bit more likely to respond constructively. If they don't
respond constructively, repeat how it makes you feel - eventually they
will get the message.

That's what I wanted to hear.


 English is not my first language.


Poor excuse, for neither is mine.

It was about repetitive rude behaviour, not a different meaning. Shall I
elaborate?


 I don't know if I want/need to be on this list...


That's solely your decision.

That type of language and attitude is completely inappropriate.  If someone
needs to be removed from the list there a much better ways of handling it.

You only have failed to notice a certain manipulation by Dominik. What he
posted here was my private communication with him. I was simply annoyed by
his repeated offensive behaviour.

Sorry, but what is between me and him personally is not your business. And I
do have a right to feel offended, and to react.



 Michael, if you really dont like reading something twice, youre more
 than welcome to leave this list yourself.


Again, my comments were in a private email to Dominik Mahrer.


  For such a detailed proposal,
 which such big potential changes, I feel (although it appears to be at
 odds with your opinion) that the more discussion can only improve the
 clarity of the situation.


Surely personal accusations from one member towards the others do not help
to maintain a clear discussion.

 Sorry, but what is between me and him personally is not your business.

Maybe you sent more to him, but the only part that was posted here were
2 sentences, one of you using profane language and another threatening
to have him banned from the list, because he didn't 'behave' like you
told him to.

If you have such power to be telling mailing list users what to do, then
exercise that power and remove him, or live with the fact that some
people will disagree and sometimes things may be discussed more than
once on a mailing list.

 And I do have a right to feel offended, and to react.

Sure, everyone has that right.  A quick read through the previous weeks
emails on this topic though, shows no reason why anyone should feel
offended.  The closest Ive found, was you suggesting that someone was
making accusations about mappers, which was answered politely and
correctly.

 Surely personal accusations from one member towards the others do not
 help to maintain a clear discussion. 

Lets just be clear, this was the flow of conversation:

   My understanding for those they have put hundreds of tags
   on/beside the way. They do not want to move them (in which
   direction ever).

  Do you have any other personal accusations towards other mappers?

 This is not an accusation, this is the only plausible reason I heard
 until now for not changing the old schema.

I'm failing to see any accusation there, and most definitely not a
'personal accusation', given the use of the word 'they'.

I apologize for the form. Sorry, it was too much.

But I stand by the meaning. Throwing accusations and personal insults
towards others is really lame.
