Perhaps its the gaming communities continued tendency to turn to GW for an answer to all its problems?
As I see it....
As the community has grown and as technology has developed so people can communicate more readily with each other, more and more contact is made with a wider circle of gamers, rules inconsitencies come light more often and GW is seen as the font of all knowledge (after all it is their trainset) so it is to them that people turn. Over time this turning to big brother for the slightest quirk has led to a community that is unable to think for itself and a a over aggressive rules enforcing policy from GW....
Going from a "use common sense" approach to a "do what we say" and trying to write the uber rule book
Just my opinion
