  Is it appropriate to name & shame people who were cutting into

unfair behaviour is inappropriate?

I will admit that I cut once, basically by accident, because I saw what
looked like a table with nobody lined up at it--of course, the line was
on the other side.  I'm still not sure how I missed that--I think I was
just too hungry; when I saw food, I got tunnel vision and went straight
for it.  I apologize.

(Of course, we could discuss how the social was laid out so as to make it
almost impossible to have well-defined lines...not an excuse, but it was
part of the problem.)
