Re: [Tagging] solving iD conflict (was: pointlessly inflamatory title)

I could try to investigate and I am neutral because I don't have an opinion on that topic yet. You have just to say it and I will prepare an investigation like pointing out my role in this process and some other things that needs to be done beforehand.

Great wishes by

This is a pretty good example of some of that unhelpful behavior I mentioned...

There is a toxic habit that's far too common on this mailing list to speculate about bad intentions and then state them as if they are fact. It serves no purpose other than to divide and denigrate and has no place in a community-oriented project.

I think if you investigate, you will find that invariably such complaints (including the predictably, invariably going to be used,"toxic"), originate with people that didn't get their way, or associates of them ("didn't get their way" as in: there was a substantial body of opinions that disagreed with what ever they were proposing).

And some of those people will then go on to say that a particular forum [where nobody agreed with

them, because everybody else is marching out of step] needs to be replaced with a different type

of forum.  A moderated forum.  It is never explicitly stated, but may be inferred, that they'd like

those moderators to be people who agree with them, or for they, themselves, to actually be

the moderators.

For bonus points, they may state (without providing names or evidence) that people on the

forum accuse them of acting in bad faith.  Which may be true, even though I don't recall

seeing that particular accusation on this list while I've been here.  Or it may be subtly

poisoning the well: those who disagree with me are obviously acting in bad faith because they

accuse me of acting in bad faith [but no evidence of such accusations is provided].
