Double standard?

In Response To: 2009 - tournaments only or other matches too - how do you feel? (neilkaz)

Seems like a double standard, no?

Not ok for Herb.

OK for a Giant.

So, I think either what Herb did is unsportsmanlike or it's ok. Can't have it both ways - it's a virtually identical situation as both "plays" were impossible.
