I don’t think it’s really that complicated. The
rules are clear and were
fairly enforced; Linus gracefully accepted the ruling; John is helping him
comply with the rules. What’s the problem?

My sentiments as well. I’m glad the rules are enforced, which ensures that this
contest is more enjoyable in the end. There really is no need for a greater
debate than that.

While there is no need for debate for this particular example I don’t think it
is entirely unneccesary. The debate goes beyond the current example into the
wider realm of contests, rules, strict interpretations, internet manners etc.
Just because this particular example is resolved for the parties concerned
doesn’t mean there isn’t legitimate grounds for a general debate.

PS. As it stands I agree with Nelson that rules of competitions should be
enforced, if only because some people may make great efforts to follow them and
making them more flexible diminishes those peoples efforts.
