You're not dumb enough to actually believe that. Anyone who cheats or sabotages is responsible for their actions, and that's the end of it. Meanwhile if dpride fucked up his own AI, then he's the one responsible. He absolutely should expect that he does not have a good standing amongst a huge percentage of the userbase, by his own choice, and thus should not be able to trust his coordinators very far. You go around harassing everyone you see on the street, you can't really be surprised when someone you think is your buddy decides to kick you in the balls over it. Doesn't mean I think someone should get kicked in the balls, but you can't claim "he had no reason to suspect this." He made enough reasons to suspect EVERYONE, and if he didn't, he's an idiot.
It's not his *fault*, but ultimately, making sure your AI is correct falls on the team owner. Most team owners handle it by getting someone to do it for them - but the responsibility is still the owner's. It's not dpride's fault, but it's his responsibility, and fixing it is his job, not GLBs.
There's a reason there was so much hubbub about the bank bailouts - it wasn't the government's responsibility to keep banks from failing, it was the bank leadership responsibility. And frankly - the "Blaze is too big to fail" argument isn't going to work here.
That said, I of course wouldn't trust my own team's AI to someone who had intentionally screwed over someone else. So if this was intentional, I'd be very interested in knowing who did it - I may not own a team, but I can certainly refuse to sign my dots to teams he coordinates for.
