So you say you only consider comments you like and if someone points out 
that even though you have been involved in OSM long enough to know what 
is required of an import by the guidelines we have you did not follow 
them in several fundamental aspects and that this amounts to 
outsourcing work of maps.me to community volunteers whose job here 
normally would be to review a solidly prepared plan or suggests 
manually verifying each of the stations instead of an import you 
dismiss that as 'toxic responses'.

This is not meant to say that all reactions here including my own have 
been a model of friendliness but the appropriate reaction if a comment 
appears non-constructive or inappropriate to you would be to directly 
reply pointing that out.  Of course it is ultimately up to you how you 
handle this.  A good way for you to get out of the mess you maneuvered 
yourself into here would IMO be to restart the whole thing from scatch 
by contacting talk-gb with the basic idea of the import and engage in 
an open discussion with the local community how to best make use of the 
data available and if an import is approved there prepare a solid work 
plan and restart review here with a detailed, transparent and well 
thought through plan that can be reviewed and approved without much 
hassle here.
