<div>I think we are all thankful for the newsletter. And
believe they are free to publish to their own standards.
However, because they use OSM resources by publishing on our
mailing lists they need respect our values. I don't think
asking a publication to be respectful to individuals is
asking too much. </div>

Being "respectful" is a two-way street. This is a situation that's
been going on for almost exactly a year now. During that time this
individual has shown contempt for the OSM community, including on
occasion telling outright untruths. Conversations with him were
very repectful at first (conducted in changeset discussions rather
than on mailing lists), but it gradually became clear that any
statements such as "I have already stopped changing any objects
except" were simply worthless. At some point you have to call a lie
a lie, and I can't think of a way of doing that without "being
disrespectful".<br>
<br>
Also, I have to object to the use of "they" and "our" in your
comment. The OSM Weekly is produced by and for people from the OSM
community, exactly the same community that the mailing lists are run
by and for. The use of that sort of divisive language ("they")
reminds me of a visit to South Africa back in the 90s, and not in a
good way.<br>
