I find this quite offensive. Because I have discussed things and asked
questions, while indicating that I do not agree, I have been treated
extremely rudely on other OSM mailing lists, in particular by persons
in 'high places'. I have been labelled a 'troll' which I am not, and
been the subject of personal abuse by SteveC.

All that has happened is polarisation of the debate, and I firmly
suggest that if you read talk-au you never post again.
