There are way to many new bolts appearing on routes that don't warrant them. Instead of making it easy for people to climb the grades they climb indoors we should be encouraging them to enjoy outdoor climbing as they find it. And accepting one standard in one place then complaining when the same standard is applied somewhere else is pure hypocrisy.
I think counter action is justified. If there was no broad consultation when a bolt went in then why should there be any consultation for the same bolt to come out.
But as Keiran pointed out, please don't make an even bigger mess in the process.
