The spirit of competition was wrecked by the choice to use client side time instead of server side time.
Would you run a race where every runner gets to choose when to begin?
Because that's what this is: A race without a central time authority. A race where each racer begins when his personal clock strikes "go".
Spirit of competition requires a fair playing field as a foundation, so there was no spirit of competition possible.
(NoScript also isn't against the 'spirit of competition'. If you want to ban a faster less-friction-causing swim suit, you have to ban it. You can't retroactively define the rules of competing!)
(Edit: Also, inventing rules of competition that aren't official rules to limit yourself to what you may consider 'honor' is called scrub logic. Play the game-- not your game, but rather the game as it exists with rules that are defined. If the rules aren't good enough, it's not the players fault).
