User downgrading my IDs unnecessarily

I would push back against the term “rampage” here. I don’t see any deleterious effects, nothing has been “downgraded”, and the fact that this user is choosing to not explicitly disagree with IDs shows they likely know what they’re doing, to a degree.

Just as we should not make assumptions when IDing observations, let’s not make assumptions about other users’ motivations.

I’m going to close this topic for a few hours because I don’t think much more can be learned about this specific situation at the moment. If anyone has thoughts on who should be able to add IDs, that would require a separate topic.
