This post is obviously not about GMMAT feeling good about poaching. I don't think anyone is condoning a lax attitude to poaching here. But you have to consider the circumstances one is faced with (the what, when, where, why) and the appropriate, proportional response.

This reminds me of zero tolerance policies at schools. Since no one has the gumption any more to make decisions about morality, they just institute zero tolerance policies. So the young boy who forgets his boy scout pen knife in his backpack gets expelled for weapons, or the young boy who innocently pecks a girl on the cheek gets expelled for sexual harrassment.
