I appreciate that I'm new here, an outsider, but a fisherman nonetheless. Please do not close threads regarding cheating in tournaments. I have no desire to throw rocks, and I'm in the group that forgives the person...but that does not mean that deeds goes unpunished. As an outsider, my perception is that both the person and the deed received a pass. The act of shutting the conversation down supports that position. I have been considering becoming involved in this sport but the details surrounding this event have made me reconsider. If the conversation is stopped, how can anything positive be gleaned?
