Many people do equate following the rules with morality. You don't. Aren't you trying to impose your view on those who disagree? I'm not saying I don't agree with you, I mostly do. I've said in this forum and others several times that there's a difference in legality and morality. But I feel that those who do think following the rules is the moral thing to do can come by that honestly and I don't try to change their mind.
