Anyway... on the broader principle. At the risk of bringing back the

would we set out?
I think we might decide that the standards of behaviour on the diaries
should be higher than those of the mailing list. I mean the
counterargument on the mailing list is always the desire to promote a
"space for lively debate", but diaries are less of a discussion
medium, more of a broadcast medium. We don't want to disallow people
putting forth "political" thoughts or manifestos about the project,
which inevitably will stray into bad-mouthing groups or even
individuals on occasions,
Err ..no. The discussions should be about OSM, not about people or an
individual.
I have found going through any outgoing mail, diary and eliminating the
words 'you', 'they', even 'we' can lead to more objectivity on my part
and hopefully less personal offence elsewhere.
There are a number of thing I don' like about OSM, trying to change them
is one thing... abusing others with a different point of view? Not going
to help.
