Lately your posts to this mailing list and others have been very confrontational on a personal level with some people. I imagine the discourse about new ideas for OSM would be much more civil if we didn't have to worry about personal attacks from you. I'm not saying your objections are *wrong*, but keep in mind that there are human beings subscribed to this list. When they read your troll-ey responses to criticism, I imagine it douses interest in continuing the on-topic conversation very quickly.
Also, I did not know OSM had a UserVoice page -- perhaps you could continue sharing with this list the ideas you've heard for making OSM better, but this time don't slit people's throats when they make a constructive response to your idea.
