You had an insightful post that people would have modded up anyway. </meta> Indeed, it's a lot easier to justify this as "fair" when it's someone you like. I admit that I'd have a harder time defending the GS exec, but I don't see how what they did is against the rules. It may not be "fair" because poorer people don't have that opportunity, but it's still legal. The focus should be less on fair/unfair and more on fixing the current broken system in which many people die.
