Case File: MEE-1234
Complainant: John Doe (aka "The Nonconformist")
Charge: Repeatedly failing to comply with Mandate 345,678, despite multiple warnings and reminders.
Exception: Due to "unforeseen circumstances" (read: lack of interest), we've decided to... not enforce the mandate. This is not a precedent, and you shouldn't try this at home.
Recommendation: We suggest you just, uh, just go ahead and do whatever you want. We won't judge.
