If anyone wants another rabbit hole, reading through the Open Street Map Foundation resolution for the indefinite ban of user sorein is a good evening read:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/493



Wow, I imagine it takes a lot of work for your ban to get a 49-page PDF report written about it:

> In response, Harry Wood of the Communications Working Group tries to reason with Mr. Acela (Appendix A.3), and Sorin continues his rude replies, claiming that the redaction process was STUPID and that the community members [...] are terrorists (Appendix A.4).

> [...]

> It never came to a Skype session because mediation requires a certain base level of respect and understanding between the parties.


I read that whole thing. I actually agreed with sorein's first couple of emails, but man, did it go downhill from there.
