When someone's decided that you're untrustworthy and out to get them, how are you supposed to prove that you're not? Especially when they are also breaking the rules that it's your job to enforce?
Just let them off, just to prove that you don't bear a grudge against them? I rather think not.
This things normally happens when you have the game "staff" playing the game they make. There is always going to be someone who will claim the staff is cheating and using their powers to 'win' the game.
Another game I played had the same problem, and it ended up with the 'staff' playing together alone in a staff only galaxy(it was a space oriented game, much like planetarion).
When someone who has knowledge that is 'hidden' and play the game, there will always be at least one 'regular' player that will acuse them of cheating.
