Seems to me that the biggest issue is that organisations such as these are instigating a blame culture and want someone to blame when they're not happy. In this case and that of Bob Graham Rounds they have an organisation that they can blame, regardless of who was at fault.
I don't know how they deal with non-BG issues. I only know how they deal with BG issues as someone on the end of their concern and anger.

Support groups were abusive to NT staff when requested to both pay for parking and to adopt some consideration for other users whilst in the car park at Brackenclose.

One of the developments with BG support groups is that some of them believe that the normal rules of good behaviour don't apply to them, even when on someone else's land. They believe this sufficiently to be quite happy to make it clear when tackled what they are about, effectively implying that NT rules and a bit of consideration for others doesn't apply to them, because they are engaged on same "great endeavour".

That's why the NT knew exactly where to come to deliver some pain.

This type of behaviour is arrogance of a high order IMHO.

The Grump metioned an own goal; this was another.

Slowly but surely goodwill leaches away in all sorts of directions.
