Thank you Trevor for your dissertation on PC & duty of care.
Perhaps I should have said your criticism of the TOS for being too restrictive then criticism for them being too lax.
I was also referring to a general shift in society where people refuse to take any responsibility for their own actions.
If I was scammed on IIS, the idea of holding Mike responsible for my loss would never enter my mind. I have been bought up to be responsible for my actions. There are situations where "duty of care" does apply, but I don't think an internet forum is one of those situations.
I made a purchase recently on IIS where something didn't feel right initially. I made lots of enquiries of the seller and eventually paid for the purchase COD through AustPost - this involved a third party in the transaction and offered protection for both buyer and seller. I am happy to report the transaction went through without a hitch.
Regards,
DT
