decide that the standards of behaviour on the diaries should
be higher than those of the mailing list. I mean the
counterargument on the mailing list is always the desire to
promote a "space for lively debate", but diaries are less of a
discussion medium, more of a broadcast medium. We don't want
to disallow people putting forth "political" thoughts or
manifestos about the project, which inevitably will stray into
bad-mouthing groups or even individuals on occasions,</div>

Err ..no. The discussions should be about OSM, not about people or
an individual. <br>
<br>
I have found going through any outgoing mail, diary and eliminating
the words 'you', 'they', even 'we' can lead to more objectivity on
my part and hopefully less personal offence elsewhere. <br>
<br>
There are a number of thing I don' like about OSM, trying to change
them is one thing... abusing others with a different point of view?
Not going to help. <br>
