Obviously the Bridgestone teams are least to blame. They did show up with superior equipment and should have the extra points or at the very least an advantage to match.
However especially one of the Bridgestone teams showed little regard to the fans and (as I understand it) sabotaged any attempt to reach an agreement. The other teams pledged solidarity and said they would pit along with the Michelin teams if it came to that. Then one of the teams broke that promise forcing the other one to follow suit since they are/were in direct competition over constructors and drivers ranking.
So the only "crime" commited would be blatant disregard to the fans who put butter on their bread. Nothing more.

I know I am being perhaps a little unreasonable here, but I care a great deal for this sport. I felt let down a little.

Luckily I could just switch over to Le Mans highlights instead. Way to go Tom Kristensen! Six in a row. Seven in total.
