There's so many classics for me to try before putting up my own...

Taking away the nitty gritty complications of how to remove bolts etc. there's not much difference between the reasons for someone putting up climbs in a location like the Blue Mountains or Point Perpendicular and the reasons for removing them.

Everyone is right in their own mind.

If "experienced" climbers feel strongly enough about particular bolts or climbs that need removal, arguably they have the same right to remove them with the same lack of consultation (at least equal to that to place them) provided they don't make a dangerous situation out of it (leaving partially chopped eyelets because of a flat battery for example).
