However, just because I no longer spend my time batting back and forth to every post on the lists, that does not mean I have the right to ignore the same community guidelines which everyone else follows. OSM is a community project, not a technical project. It works when people respect each other, rather than believing they know best. The import process is a way of making sure that the community is respected. You can summarise it in six words: "with great power comes great responsibility". That is, if you are proposing to make bulk changes to the map, you have to make sure the community comes along with you. You cannot just short-circuit this because you personally don't like some technology or other. If OSM-UK is to be led by people who openly display such disdain for the OSM community, I want no part of it.
