[David Gilbert]

It has been like that forever among contesters.  People are more willing 
to ignore a confirmed cheat than they are the presumably honest mistake 
of a useful contest resource.  An error outside of a contest is 
considered more grievous than an error inside of a contest.  Where is 
the indignation against those who clearly, consciously, and repeatedly 
tried to cheat their way to an undeserved award?  Some of the higher 
profile violators are still practically treated like celebrities.

And, of course, for every blatant instance of cheating there are likely 
several other individuals who either witnessed it or knew about it.  
Some of those people were likely complicit, but those who weren't are 
cowards for not speaking out against it.

I am often appalled at the lack of public peer pressure and 
self-policing among contesting ranks.  We deserve what we get.

73,
