I am rather enjoying the way people are trying to defend the people on the list. I just don't get *why* they are doing it.
I suppose it's a matter of perspective (not that some obviously true platitude really says much). Perhaps it's not so much a defense as it is a willingness to forgive: shocking concept, I know. Although I quite realize that ffxi is more than "just a game," I couldn't bring myself to wish for someone to burn just because of cheating, be it in a game or in life. The bloodthirsty nature of most retributive justice systems just seems so pointless.
Regardless, I can't help but think an attempt at objective rationality is a good thing though, whether the person is guilty or not.
