It doesn't violate the purpose of the system though. The purpose of the caucus is to vote in delegates to go to convention; that is still happening.
A caucus isn't a system where delegates are assigned to the people who get the most votes; it is a system where voters let the party know who them support, and then delegates are chosen afterwards in an entirely separate process.
What I'm trying to say here is that complaining about someone who has technically nothing wrong isn't going to get you anywhere, since there isn't anything that can actually be done about it. What you can do (and should) is complain about the flaws of the system, and point out that candidates (such as Paul) have used them for their own advantage, and you think that is unfair.
