I only feel that the caving community consensus matters because they are the ones assigning value to the caves, not that community consensus defines right and wrong. If I felt that taking speleothems was "right" I still wouldn't because I'm not the only one that uses and appreciates caves. Does that make sense? If it affects others I take them into account.
