Based on the way that what I said was quoted by replies
immediately to it, I would not be surprised if subsequent readers
thought that I had said something completely different to what I
actually had.</p>
<p>Firstly at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060317.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060317.html</a>
, Tomas makes two statements which he says are a corollary of what
I've said but which really aren't. I don't agree with those
statements and I doubt anyone else on the DWG would either. Maybe
he was trying to make a joke, but if so it (a) isn't funny and (b)
isn't helpful.<br>
</p>
<p>Secondly at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060319.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060319.html</a>
Dave cuts off a quoted sentence of mine immediately before a "but"
- the half-sentence as quoted has a completely different meaning
to the original at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060306.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-March/060306.html</a>
. Some of Dave's edits are of course the ones that Tomas is
objecting to; they're both misquoting me to try and shore up their
own opposing positions.<br>

<p>It's difficult enough trying to understand the nuance of people's
points of view when you're actually trying to do so; ignoring them
or trying to make it look like they said something they did not
does not help.anyone - it just makes you look like someone
untrustworthy to have a conversation with. There is no such thing
as "winning the tagging list". People will just use mail client
rules to move your messages "out of the way" so they don't have to
deal with you.</p>
