Well lets just look at it from both sides.
Yes, I agree, those who could have tried to prevent it should have done. No doubt about that in my mind.
Those that actually paid for it shouldn't have done.
Either of those actions would have prevented the blooming of the rot. Fair enough?
Now, on the first point, what are the collective doing about it these days? The collective that counts some who paid for a TR amongst it's numbers. Diddly squat, that's what. Why?
You see, it's a very cynical point of view to claim that we should have done something to prevent it when you are not doing anything to stop it continuing now!
