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 !!
