Oh, so you were just lying when you said the rules I directed you to sounded good and you agreed to play by them? Because, to be clear, you never communicated to me that you had a different idea in mind, you just agreed to follow the rules. If you want to bear your analogy out fully, it'd be that you were happy enough to punch, kick, etc, but you would only do so if your opponent was restricted to punches.
See, what you can't do is characterize the rules as unfair when you were quite happy to let me alone follow them while you went off to do whatever you want. That just means you didn't think the rules were unfair consistently, just when they were applied to you. It means you were quite happy to walk into an unfair fight, just so long as the advantage was yours alone.
As the PM exchanges between yourself, myself, and H_M have been posted to the debate thread, anyone who cares is free to see exactly what happened.
I'll leave it at that.
