The fact is that if we're being real, rules lawyers are often right or at least present a strong case. The problem is that a lot of people just de-classify them as rules lawyers when they happen to agree with them or are convinced. Which is funny but extremely silly. It makes the term completely pointless if it's only ever something you call people when they happen to be wrong (in your opinion).</blockquote>
