Could it be because all manners and respect here have been allowed to slide slowly to an intolerable level?

What has become of the unwritten ethics code around plagiarising others work and verbally abusing them in public?

It is fast becoming 'custom and practice' that someone can rape a mod and feel oblivious to any accountability for their actions.

How can it be that on two separate posts a GWX member can be threatened with a physical assault and there is no intervention by those empowered to do so?

You've hit the proverbial nail on the head Jim. It's real life flowing over to the computer gaming world. They do it everyday on the streets and at home.... no respect anymore for others. They don't have to follow any laws but do what they want with impunity. They take what they want when they want it and figure no one will stop them or say anything. The last on being threatened is the 3rd time. A former member received death threats by phone. I was witness to that myself.

This past Friday I watched a hit and run in a parking lot. I DID get all the info..... plate # and name on the company vehicle, and the persons description. We even stayed to tell the person the that owned the damaged vehicle what happened. The idiot that did this denied every bit of it according to the State Police. I was asked what the person looked like and age.... I hit it as close as possible without a picture. Was asked if I'd come in an identify the person and said sure. I've heard nothing so far so I figure that person finally came clean and admitted their guilt. Now they're probably out of a job for something that stupid. That's what this world it coming too, and it's showing up on the internet and here.
