In any profession, sport, hobby, occupation business, or whatever, there are people who do "bad" things at the expense of others. Some are good people who should know better and some are just bad people. The assumption that may be in error is people learn from their mistakes or from feedback on their behavior. How long has this debate/conflict about bad behavior on birders or photographers part been occurring? Literally years and years. The learning curve appears to be flat.
Many cry foul when rules, conditions, limits are established yet will not take accountability for the lack of change in an issue.
