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.
