I would consider all the spoilers and guides cheating more than fast forwarding.

I worked out all the puzzles by myself with FFW. And people are quite entitled to play the game how they wish.

I think there is quite a lot of self righteous attitudes on these boards and I don't see why anyone else should get so worked up if someone wants to fast forward the slow parts

We're all different and we all play differently. Live and let live, it's only a game.
