If a boat breaks a rule, she is expected to take a penalty whether another boat protests or not. Protest Committee is the arbiter of the rules, not the enforcer.

THIS.
Too many sailors [in my opinion] know they've fouled someone but don't do turns unless PRTOESTED.
So to encourage better sportmanship, I propose the ALS Challenge here within the forum and on the water:
Always Live (by) Sportmanship.
Govern yourself and don't be afraid to take someone to "the room".
