I've never cared about anybody's circle. If it's wrong, you need to call it out...regardless of circle position.

What you posted is not how I would define a scope hawk.

As I said earlier, there's no chance if you don't plea for it in the hearings. It's moot now because the precedence is set.

That's incorrect. Contract law allows for any and all penalties for a willful breach. Sometimes it's a monetary penalty and other times it's a remedy called Specific Performance. In other words, honor the contract exactly as written.
Again, all moot now.
