This same thing happens in online gaming. Cheaters are found and banned
and then post to forums trying to get sympathy for the cause and like
what we saw here nearly everyone sides against the banned player.
Is it the people or they way we teach and what we are told over and over
that there is always someone else or something else to blame.
Most people would easily be forgiven or given a second chance , if they
just took the high road and said yep I blew it, what I did was wrong and
I hope that I have learned my lesson and will strive to follow the rules
in the future. Instead we get laundry lists of EXCUSES why rules had to
be broken.
It is a sad commentary on society.

I've sometimes posted here before on the topic of cheating and the
various reasons/mentalities behind it. There are several of them and
most have different roots, but one thing that is common to all of them
is the amazing ability of humans to rationalize bad behavior. It's
almost like people lose objectivity once they've decided to break a
rule. I've even read things that suggest it's a natural human defense
mechanism for coping with the ambiguous situations we regularly find
ourselves in. I suspect that those who don't have some capability to
rationalize eventually go mad ... or at least get diagnosed as being
obsessive-compulsive.
Fabio's post is a pretty good case in point (in fact, his
rationalizations bother me greatly) but it most certainly is not a
unique example. Anyone who thinks they are immune to this in their
life is kidding themselves ... it's all just a matter of place and
degree.

Fabio,
there is no reason to be angry and Brian have 100% right
If you violated rules by mistake even deliberately you had choice to
avoid
problems you get into
sending your log into other category, sending your log as check log
or ask
contest organizer what to do?
But what did you do? You change your log to fit into MS even you know
this
is wrong!
Now after log checker discovered rule violation you talking about
wrong log
file :)
Hard to believe.....
I am pretty sure if no one look at your log and you were in results,
you were not complaining about it, even you know it was wrong!
So far I can see you just wanted to avoid RED CARD because of WRTC
participation and after no success
with contest organizer now you are bothering WRTC director with it!
It was your decision and you could act different, now be man took the
consequences !!
