		<description>&quot;Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.&quot;

Innovators (any businesses) should factor human behavior (and the potential for bad behavior of individuals and groups) into their business model.  Failure to do so is the fault of innovators, not the public-at-large.

If businesses can re-organize around niches a) the cost of enforcing behavior is going to decrease, b) surfacing hidden costs like externalities becomes cheaper, and c) it becomes easier to monitor bad behavior.  The mechanics, of course, is the most interesting bit.

		<description>I agree that managing behavior brings about innovation. But as more and more services are based on communities if mutually acceptable modes of behavior aren&#039;t agreed upon then the cost of managing behavior becomes excessive. In other words, the rules of the game become so onerous no one is able to play any more. Bad behavior encourages stricter enforcement which morphs into uncomfortable control mechanisms.</description>

		<description>I would argue the &quot;defense against bad behavior&quot; is innovation itself; bad behavior crops up when businesses neglect to really understand human behavior and the incentives wrapped up in their innovation (kinda follows your third point of &quot;share the big rewards of positive behavior&quot;).

The real takeaway is that as an increasing amount of products and services are built upon communities and aggregating masses of people, understanding group interaction dynamics (game mechanics, for one) is an increasing key performance indicator and must be built into the product/service itself.

		<description>Hi Walter, Things do seem to go in cycles. Let&#039;s hope your right about an uptick in respect!</description>

		<description>With all kinds of people running on the internet it is impossible not to run over by bad people. The problem with the internet is that we cannot impose an ethics to which everyone should comply, it&#039;s like a big organization sans order. 

However, there&#039;s no such thing as a perfect system. I have faith that in due time, people will come to their senses and make some concessions about respect. :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Andrew, I think that in the end it is unfair to the neighbors more than the innovators. Businesses will figure out the best way to get a return. If that doesn&#039;t include bicycles then its we who suffer, the entrepreneur just heads off to the next idea.</description>

		<description>Fred, 

It is simply unfair that innovators and good faith consumers should have to put up with the behavior of those who seek to exploit such innovation. 

Unfortunately, the abuse of innovation in a destructive manner seems to be something of an ingrained reality - I wish it weren&#039;t the case.

		<description>That seems to have happened in Paris. Smaller towns in other countries have done OK. The concentrated urban environment seems to have a negative effect raising abuse. Of course usage is higher as well so maybe it all balances out.</description>

		<description>Hi Brad,  Absolutely. I guess the question I&#039;m wondering about is where is the tipping point when security starts killing innovative ideas.</description>

		<description>Context matters a lot and I think knowing the values and culture of the context can tell you a lot whether an something will work or not.
