I agree with everything you said....I just don't know how you fix it. I don't think "throwing out the rules" and "beating them at their own game" is the answer. If you do that, then you have legitimized their tactics and then all bets are off.

It's a terrible situation. We've painted ourselves into a corner by allowing it for this long, now you're damned if you do damned if you don't.
