Proud to be a Cache Cop

So I have been called Geocache Police, Geocache Cop, and, a few unmentionable names.  Do I care? Nope!!
Society has rules and laws.  Without them then society would fall apart.  Mass chaos and confusion.  Everyone would just do as they want with no regard to anyone else or their surroundings. 
Oh wait some geocachers already do that!..
Groundspeak has a set of guidelines that every geocaching member who wants to use their website must follow.  It is simple and basic.  Their guidelines have evolved through trial and error.  The guidelines cover the whole world not just our little section of it.  Within these guidelines are local guidelines that must be followed.  Just like a flowchart.
The guidelines were created to minimize environmental damage, minimize impact on their surroundings, minimize the mass hysteria regarding bombs, etc...
Now there are always someone who feels that these guidelines were not made for them, that they are above all that.  BUT!! and that's a big BUT.. If you choose to use Groundspeaks website to partake in this little hobby then you must follow their guidelines!  Right?  Well for some....nope!! 
So when someone like me who sees blatant disregard for the guidelines, safety issues, environmental damage, etc and happens to mention it in passing, then the phrase "geocache police" or something similar gets used.
My question is why?  What makes you so special that you can just do whatever you want?  Why do you not see that we all play this game and it only takes one issue by you to destroy it?
I should just turn a blind eye and keep my mouth shut?  Like you do?  Writing nasties on cache pages, spreading lies to anyone who will listen?
So while you are reading all this, and I know you do.  See the counter at the top left of the page? Why don't you take the time to reflect on what impact you are having?  What you are teaching other geocachers?  What legacy you are leaving?
I will leave you with this.. For every lie, for every nasty, for every broken rule, for every blatant disregard for safety, for every bad environmental impact, I will speak up.  It is compounding...and I will not go away..
