Adamant1 (2019-12-09 05:47:49+00:00): Obviously I read the wiki pages because I directly quoted them multiple times. Its cool though. I know the whole "well, you just must not of read it" or whatever similar argument is a pretty popular refrain on here when people are disagreed with. So, I'll give you a pass on it. 

Well, now you know about the QIDs. I can't fault you there because I didn't they where connected to the GNIS id's either. So, that's one we are cool on. At least we agree, I assume, that they are a viable alternative compared to them just being deleted. Which again, is what is being done in most cases. 

Your claim that you didn't take it to the mailing list is patently false. I'm fine quoting you on it, but I'd prefer not to since they in private messages, but that's not how you framed there or in the other changeset comments you wrote. Your only taking the high road now because other people got involved. You never once mentioned we should take it to Slack or Discord though, and why would you when neither of them specifically deal with tagging issues when we have a specific communication channel for that? In no way is Slack or Discord "better" in that respect. 

Why should I only edit in my local area? Like you say, OSM is "edit anywhere." So, there's zero reason to. It's not a realistic standard anyway. You think people in my "local area " (whatever that means) don't complain about crap either? Ultimately we should just be civil, get along, and reach a consensus on things. None of this problem was caused by me being "outsider." It was caused by you getting an attitude multiple times in various changeset comments and private messages and refusing to reach an agreement. That could have just as much with someone local. As it's caused by the mentality of the individual, not who they are interacting with. Your probably one of those users that would be perfectly happy if your the only editor around and don't have to deal with anyone. That's fine, but it's not realistic. So, lets just get along instead. Ultimately you where the one that was toxic about it. You sent me the messages, told me not to talk to anyone else about it, and went off about how I was in the wrong because I didn't consult you first, and said you where revert all my edits know matter how the conversation went. All of are toxic. There's zero toxic about me deleting a tag that has zero use and can be just be re-added if need be, or telling you why I disagree with your reasoning and nativist mentality. Other that, I could really care less if people ask about my edits or even make changes to them if they think things can be mapped better. It happens all the time with ZERO issues. People who are local or not make edits all the time in my area, some I agree with and a lot I don't. I usually have zero problem with it. That's how it should be. Nice try pointing the finger though. I'm sorry you don't like being disagreed with and don't care about reaching consensus with other mappers. That's nothing new for OSM. Personally, I feel like this conversation was productive and I learned something new from it. So no big on my side. Live and let live. 

Anyway, I don't want to get chided for message length or anything else by anyone. I already felt like I was pushing it. So, I'm done with this conversation. Feel free to continue beating the dead horse in my absence though. In the meantime I have some QIDs to add.
