Maybe WOA was wrong in telling PC not to use the pink whistles over bureaucratic nonsense... So shame on them.
Maybe WOA should have told them that in THIS case, because the cause was noble, they would allow it despite their lack of following protocol. So again, shame on them.
But they didn't. They told PC not to do it - IN ADVANCE of them doing it. How could they NOT penalize them when they blatantly did it anyway? If they don't penalize such blatant disregard for authority, future "Don't do that's" have no teeth.
Imagine your a baseball umpire and you (right or wrong) tell a coach, "One more word and you're gone." He then turns to you and says "Breast cancer." If you don't toss him, you're warnings have no further purpose and you have no credibility.
