Still in OppositeLand, JohnSmith?

The OSMF trusts OpenStreetMap contributors.  The OSMF _are_
OpenStreetMap contributors.

The Contributor Terms trust future OSM contributors to make the right
choices for future OSM licenses. Do you trust current and future OSM
contributors JohnSmith?  I think that you have demonstrated that you
do not trust current OSM contributors.  You treat them with what
appears to be contempt.  You won't even provide a bare minimum of
context in your changeset comments for other OSM contributors.
