This thread was on the topic of the atmosphere of the Australian
community and talk-au,

Then, as a moderator, you should give Steve C. a warning for polluting
this general talk forum with irrelevant waffling.
Incase you havent learnt, the moderation is there to stop anyone else
drowning out SteveC on the list.
In one foul swoop, Richard has destroyed my interest in OSM.. 5 years of
mapping contributions, code contributions, discussion contributions, and
we get treated like this. I have deleted all my accounts, all my
subscriptions, and am in the process of deleting 12 months of GPX traces
and OSM files that Ive built up from my round-australia travels, mostly
on highways which have never been mapped, and wont be mapped unless
someone else takes the week-long roadtrip.
Some non aussies came onto the aussie list and stirred up a few big
arguments, so you ban the aussies, rather than the international pests.
What you should have done, was blocked everyone non-aussie from the
list, or at least bothered to look at the history (or ask ANYONE) who
uses the list. Then, when a few people criticized him for his decision,
he disappears.
Seriously Richard, I hope you burn in hell for the destruction youve
caused and continue to cause to the OSM project.

Wow David! From Toby's post, I assume this diatribe is in response to this:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2011-July/008350.html
Richard is a calm, thoughtful, intelligent guy who listens to people and tries
to create a fun, global, human environment for our project. Steve has made one
post making a considered overview of an ugly situation and inviting discussion
... a proper course of action for the founder of our project to take. I
personally hope you will also calm down, withdraw unwarranted personal insults
and consider apologising. I don't like the idea of moderation much either,
perhaps a reason why I have been asked to be one, but, paradoxically, this post
rather comes across as a slam-dunk justification.
Mike
