Mantus, this is my main point.
I haven't said you 'shouldn't' get angry... I haven't said it's a forgivable offence... I haven't said I feel sorry for cheaters. I am not trying to change the world here, I have just noticed room for consideration when it comes to cheaters and issues of cheating.
My own experiences with this issue has shown me that there are plenty of 'grey' areas on this topic and although I am not a perfect person, I am a good person. I have learned a lot by being betrayed myself, and betraying another's trust, I hold myself accountable in both instances (which is why I would consider myself to be a cheater even if the situation wasn't exactly a clear cut case of cheating). I am not stupid, I know there are people out there that are repeat offenders, but I don't see how we can paint everybody with the same brush when it comes to this issue. I really don't think that's fair.
