No Nigel, you BELIEVE that every transgression is to the detriment of others. I don't. That's the root of our disagreement, certainly.
Again, you use emotive and loaded language that misrepresents the views of others. It's a low tactic and quite rude. I have never, at any point, recommended "flouting" any rules. To be clear, "flouting" is "to show contempt for; scorn". I do not have contempt or scorn for the rules - I simply don't believe in blindly adhering to every single rule, in every single circumstance. And I would be incredibly surprised if you've never knowingly broken any rule in any area of your life, because that would make you remarkably saintly.
