The forums used to be frequented by posters who had what I considered reasonable opinions on most issues. In the last couple of days there have been threads about constantly barking dogs left in rigs, a guy who whipped it out and urinated in public, and a guy who dumped his black tank into a stream. In the past those actions would have been met with a long chorus of "that behavior is unacceptable". However all three were filled with posters saying those actions were fine and justifiable. To me it sure feels like the monkeys have taken control of the zoo.
It is just a symptom of the general decline in our society. I had a preacher who used to say "Everything rises and falls on leadership". He was so right. We can combat this behavior by continuing to speak out when it crosses the line. If no one is left to question bad behavior, how will anyone know it was wrong?
