Hello lockdownguy,

Following on from discussions at changeset/112746759 we’re going to ask you to take a break from OSM for a few hours.

On changeset/112746759 I said ‘Repeated accusations of “vandalism!” don’t reinforce whatever point you are trying to make’ and ‘if you find yourself annoyed by something it often helps to take a break before replying’.

You seem to be engaged in some “extreme whataboutery” concerning this particular user’s edits, bringing in road refs in Baghdad (which you said on changeset/100090200 you’d fix yourself) and edits in the Gulf.

Please step away from the keyboard for a few hours, and when you return please try and think about why a particular change might have been made and why it may or may not be correct rather than simply shouting “vandalism” every time. It is important that every point of view is considered, including yours.

Best Regards,

Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM’s Data Working Group.
