I'm surprised that you had a bad interaction. Do you mind sharing it? My experience has been very positive, even when I messed up.

I did a write-up on how I have been mapping sidewalks to help out someone locally who was just starting out, and some asshole decided to come berate us for mapping sidewalks as separate ways (as was already the standard in our area) and for following the OpenSidewalks schema. They wouldn't stop even after being asked multiple times.
