Not all discussions are about you. I'm still thinking of the boat that was destroyed, the sailor who left the sport, and the ill will that still exists as a result of a port/starboard foul. A foul that could have been avoided had the port tacker accepted the onus of the rule.
As a minimum, I believe the rule should be changed to an automatic dsq.
How was my post about me Pete? I sited examples I witnessed not something that was hearsay to make the point that the idea of removing the obligation to avoid contact is a bad idea.
