Yes, I was about to write a similar email too. Instead I'll just post
the definition of 'Spirit of the Game' from the WFDF rulebook. I see
the important parts as being 'respect' and 'fair play'.
401 Spirit of the Game:
Ultimate has traditionally relied upon a spirit of sportsmanship
which places the responsibility for fair play on the individual player
himself. Highly competitive play is encouraged but never at the expense
of mutual respect between players, adherence to the agreed-upon rules of
the game or the basic joy of play. The purpose of the rules of ultimate
is to provide a guideline which describes the way the game is played. It
is assumed that no ultimate player will intentionally violate the rules;
there are no harsh penalties for inadvertent infractions but, rather, a
method for resuming play in a manner which simulates what would most
likely have occurred had there been no infraction.
