Err ..no. The discussions should be about OSM, not about people or an 
individual.

I have found going through any outgoing mail, diary and eliminating the 
words 'you', 'they', even 'we' can lead to more objectivity on my part 
and hopefully less personal offence elsewhere.

There are a number of thing I don' like about OSM, trying to change them 
is one thing... abusing others with a different point of view? Not going 
to help.
