Freepers who just write off cheating disappoint me.
Likewise. Granted the breaking of some rules is more egregious and has more dire consequences than the breaking of others, but disregard for the rules just because you view them as silly or they didn't have an impact one way or another on the result (and how would you ever know this for certain) calls into question the integrity of the organization and the outcome of the process.
I wonder if those same Freepers would be equally nonplussed if a political candidate you didn't like disregarded the election rules and won by such a large margin that had he/she not broken the rules, it still wouldn't have affected the outcome?
Or I wonder if they are bothered when Obama ignores his "rulebook" - the U.S. Constitution.
Oh yeah? You haven't watched me play golf ...
