Not happy about the turn in this conversation.
I can imagine people having dislikes to each other. I'm still wavering on that atm concerning roboteers.

But to ignore the gentlemans agreements. Nope. That's way beyond me.

I know, there are people who do laught at the basic rules of engagement.
Most of them are now part of the past. The few remaining will learn the wrongness of their goal. Or quit because being shunned.

Imagine any marial artist beating his opponent after the towel is trown untill his opponent is dead... That ain't competition, that's plain murder.

And even some roboteers did do so in the past, it's not a reason to do so in the future, not even for revenge.

In the end, as I see it. It's a mind to mind competition.
Who can get the right stuff and people together with the available resources?
Not a competion who can drive others away by causing losses to horrible to play

In a byplay of this. People can feel exploited....
