Totally get what you are saying about Dreamtime Wendy...it is a disaster out there in terms of climbing....a 3 star "classic" doesn't usually involve flexing holds on shattered rock that could kill anyone below...
As for the holier than though stuff...I get what you are saying about this too...I see the same things as you when i am out at the crag...but it doesn't mean I am ok with it. It may seem ideological, but I think that as a user group, we have been able to minimize impacts in some ways, but have become more and more apathetic to other impacts...so things have got progressively worse, which isn't good enough. One of these issues is bolting, in particular the bolting of chossy shit routes..
