Quoted from Grandma Bear

IMO, it was a sucky thing to do, but what did anyone lose from this? Money? Time? Effort? No onelost anything, so why ban or publicly shame? We're all trying to do our best here on this free site...


Who cares whether anyone lost anything? That's not the point. You can't be serious. "We're all trying to do our best here on this free site"? Who? The person who fabricated comments and votes? Why would anyone want to be part of such a thing? I'm not calling for "public shaming." I'm calling for honesty about this. You're a long-timer: You're okay with this? I guess you are.

Don? You, too? You need to say who did this -- and suspend him or her.

Why?

To this point, I have made no mention of what actions I took.  There are a lot of assumptions being made.  

But other than you, who says I 'need to say who did this' and I need to 'suspend him or her'.

I've handled it to my satisfaction, I've ensured it has no impact on the contest and I'm taking steps it won't happen again.

Like I said, It was a sucky thing to do. The person was called out by Don. The mods know who this person is. The person knows we know. It wasn't a real competition where anything of high value was at stake.

This OWC or WT won't be remembered in the future except for maybe a few people that participated. The attempt at cheating did not affect the outcome, so why ban or publicly out someone? Just to hurt them?

You're calling for honesty? Someone did attempt to cheat, but was found out. Why do you need to know more?

Joking, Don.  Just thinking back to earlier times when I said things that shouldn't be said and was a nuisance.

When I go to McDonalds, I have a handful of choices to pick from. When I go to BJ's Brew House I have a hundred or so. It's easy to make a choice at McD. It's harder at BJ's. More choices. Have to make a decision on all the information provided. Let's just say you have the McD menu while we have the BJ's menu. The decision was made after studying the menu for a long time...

Henry,

I respect that you disagree with my decision.  I knew that would happen.  After spending a long time looking into what happened and discussing with the moderators asking their input, I ultimately made a decision and took a course of action.  The integrity of the contest was preserved.  However, I will not be releasing the name of the person who cheated.

And me.  Although I totally -- respectfully -- get where you are coming from.

But there were lots of reasons driving the decision Don made.  I think he did the right thing.

He's been running this house for an awfully long time.  Trust his judgement.

I think Don does a wonderful job. He's wrong on this.

So, let's hear the BJ's menu choices. We need to know when writing scripts for future OWCs.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am in how this has been handled -- and responses such as yours.

I can see how you would think that.  I can.

Suppose Don were to post the name?  Right here.  Right now.

What comes next?

Follow that thread of thought to wherever it leads you -- with an emphasis on worst-case scenarios.

That may not convince you entirely, of course.  But that is just one of a couple reasons.
