IMO, that's the worst solution, as it lets the wrong kind of people win.

My suggestion of the best solution would be, go on regardless, or "take the high road".

And while you're at it, join those who wish the manipuolations to cease and honest photography prevail. Manipulators (in any sense) do not realise that they really only hurt themselves: their openness, their creative abilities, and ultimately their own destiny (in every sense). Cheaters never do really "win". Delusion is a thorough loss.

Never mind winning. It's taking part that's valued. And most interesting, anyway.
