I wasn't referring to the original mapper. It was in reference to the last person that an edit to the road. We have an on going issue. For some reason he/she thinks this is his/her territory and I am fixing all these note issues in an attempt to get him/her back for changing the tag of a park in Eureka like a year ago. Unfortunately the persons persecution complex appears to be leading to him/her reverting a bunch of the changes in the Bay Area for other people that took me a long time to research and do. Although it's frustrating in the first place to have my hard work undone, especially over a petty argument that happened so long ago, things are made much worse in my mind by the fact that most of the notes associated with the changes are gone now. So now there is no way for someone that the person does not have a beef with to come along and fix things I wasn't able to. I guess the best way for him/her to make sure the work stays he/she wants it is to destroy the record that there was a problem there in the first place. 

Other then that, I agree with you that in most cases disparaging other users is usually not a good practice. I have tried to lighten up on older importers, especially after you brought up how to go through the changeset history and also  the issues with mapping back then compared to now. I do think there are rare cases like this one, where it is warranted though. Since I don't want to see someone potentially waste their time and also because I would like to just change the road myself but I have been walking on shells the last few months by not editing anything the other mapper in question has. It hasn't seemed to have stopped the person's scorched earth campaign though or the paranoid threading messages. So maybe I'll just say screw it soon and fix the road anyway. 

I do appreciate your attempts to steer me in the right direction. Most of the time I am active on here late at night when it is not optimal but there is nothing else occupy my insomnia. Some nights there's a bad combination of wine and sour cream potato chips involved to. Which I think is recipe for disaster either way you look at it.
