[diversity-talk] NYC local disagreement

[Richard Weait]

For the record, the local meetup in NYC has no connection to
OpenStreetMap Foundation.  I'm not aware of any local meeting with
official standing, be it a Meetup, a Mappy Hour, Mapping Party, etc.

I think we're all better off, and more welcoming as an international
community, If local, personal disagreements can be kept local.  And
settled there.

Emailing personal grievances to a wider list while writing from an
"angry, hurt, and upset space" seems likely to extend the cooling off
time required and delay any potential discussion.
