"this is against the rules, right?"
Technically, probably, yes.
However, although this board appears to have rules, which some naive souls place considerable faith in, that appearance is an illusion.
For the "rules" on this board are so inconsistently applied that they're essentially meaningless.
The only rule is whatever you can get away with.
And the scope of what you can get away with broadens or narrows depending on Cary's regard for you.

admitted to making a false outing.

So much for "rules" then.
The only rules are Ferguson rules.
