I guess there is only one counter to this strategy, keep every border clear of roads and railroads. It'll be interesting to see how expert players manage their empires to stave off the likes of you.

This is guilt by association, they are not applicable to this discussion, and not what we were discussing, quit trying to bring in irrelevant vectors.
Finally, I present you guys with a challenge:
How do you propose you would ever defend against this strategy.... is there even a way to defend against it? For your info.... WAR is not turn based, this game is, and using your settler as such is taking advantage of the turn based aspects of the game.

What is a valid defense against the settler rushing exploit?
I assure you, there is none.
