While you and others can disagree with me, IMO, at the very least the the PPA spun and mislead the players in this regard.
You could make this argument, I'd say the self serving mentality that permeated through the poker community pre-BF was far worse - the mentality that there would always be a loophole for the sites... they would always have at least checks, ect. At least member of the ppa said the status quo wouldn't last for some time before BF.
