Shooting a stipe with a BB gun gets you 100k.
Behaving like a Barbarian in the stipes room gets you 50k.
Big Deal.! So…what do the stipes tell us.. ?. “so and so did *something* that was NOT fitting…” Yes, OK… he is named… but EXACTLY WHAT did Mr Meistre do…? Where’s the transparency..?
Inconsistent with fines imposed. Its about time the stipes should be fined for their inconsistencies.
