I have to agree with almost everything you commented on. Yes, the MS, should have been in format. (There is a reason for these rules. Easy reading, consistency.) If it didn't qualify, RWA should've return the money. Come on, its only 50 bucks, to this very large organization. It maybe next weeks groceries for the person. Who knows.
We are all human, and use it as an excuse from time to time for our mistakes. I worked in Law enforcement for 20 years and retired last year. I was one of those cops who sort-a-bent the rules to make things work a little easier for me and the criminal. (If you can believe that.) I considered it Karma...And actually it did work, when the time came. My slight act of past kindness was remembered, and usually it came at a very pivotal moment. Yep, I would have let the lady go on her ticket, because of the graduation, with a warning. "Don't let me catch you in this hood speeding again."
A lesson learned out of all this, the author will probably read the rules a little bit more carefully and check her work to make sure it's in format. Sometimes, as much as it hurts, often times its our mistakes that makes us a better writer, cop or whatever it is in our life where trying to be.
