Sometimes I pine for the good ol' days where this kind of unethical behavior would be met with a good old fashioned ass kicking.

It's only the olden days until someone goes ahead and takes a swing.

I had the exact same thought about the "fraudster holding the Occupy Boston d/b/a certificate hostage" story. Especially in that kind of ground-up, loosely-couples collective action scenario, how does overt bad acting not result in a Code Red at the food tent?
