And that is precisely why you are, in fact, on a high horse. You preach that everyone must obey every rule, always, no matter how ridiculous. There are a multitude of examples where that is flawed logic, but I can see referring to any will do no good. I'm sure you always obey every rule you're ever given. You also state, more or less, that anyone who has picked a side in this is wrong to have done so, and that only your opinion on the matter is valid. Anything else is being "self-righteous." People see what the kid got as being unjust. Many agree that the kid was in the wrong to try to cheat (even the kid himself), but the level of punishment he received, not only in the form of his characters being deleted, but in people like you chastising him even after his admitted mistake, is unfair. He's 11 after all. And your rants toward the parents and kid do infer you support what happened (Kirmit's actions), whether that was your intent or not. And if you think this isn't a moral issue, then you may as well beam back up to the Enterprise Mr. Spock. Clearly we're getting nowhere on this. I have to go solve world hunger anyway, and I'm pretty sure you have a parenting class to teach.
