"Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools."
It's unfortunate that you had to deal with a fool, but that's not a indictment of the particular rule that they picked to follow off a proverbial cliff.
Thanks for your reply. I just want to note that what appears to be a quote in your comment ("Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools") is not something I wrote at all. If you still have time to edit the comment, I might suggest changing that so it doesn't look like you quoted me.
