RE: Is there a road back?
Yes, a good point...I think that stems a little from the expectation ethos that the world is plagued with. An interesting question you ask but one we'll never know the answer to unfortunately. People can act as they please, generally...In the real world we have laws to follow and consequences if caught breaking them...Here, well there just consequences based on action...That's the good part...The community takes the action. Sort of tribal law I guess...But there's a way back for the abusers...And they can present themselves as the hero's of the blockchain knowing that they will be accepted back, mostly. (I refer to no one in particular here, just generally.)
Online there are very few consequences to actions it seems, so people are in the frame that what they do is okay. In real life there are other factors besides laws that temper actions and when one lives in a community, reputation and behavior matter to some degree. Not many people openly steal from their local store or set fire to their neighbours home - the only thing really stopping anyone doing anything are the consequences of actions that people fear, as well as their own character. Not everyone would steal or set fire to things regardless of whether they could or not.
