I have said over and over that it is a play style choice I have put no emotional judgement on it. But I have noticed that there are people who don't fudge and don't want to play in a game where fudging happens  tend to fall in two categories the ones who do really view it  as  a play style choice they tend to avoid the emotional charged negative judgmental  word cheating and use the neutral more correct term of fudging the way the game designers use it. The others are tend to use the judgmental word cheating as opposed to fudging which right there ups the emotional response. Nobody likes being called a cheater there is hardly any circumstance that it ever used in  any other way than an insult. And I find it very telling that some insist on using it. And I think it is a passive aggressive way of telling someone you think that they don't play the game right which is against the rules and can bring moderation.</blockquote>
