Ethics

I'm in an event with a bunch of friends and acquaintances from around Ottawa. Its a friendly competition involving a website with usernames and passwords.


One person in the event went too far in terms of the spirit of the event, and although did not cheat  by the letter of the rules (we think, investigation is underway), he definitely crossed the line from friendly competition to outright sleaziness.


It blows my mind how some people could feel the need to win something that has no prize so much that they would bend or break the rules and ruin the enjoyment of the event for so many other people. It truly makes me lose faith in humanity at these times and I begin to understand how corruption in business and politics can be so widespread.


Woe to us all.
