Thanks for the vote and reasonable response. As a newcomer, I worry about saying the wrong thing.

One point I'd like to make is to separate the law/code from ethics a little. We should be able to discuss that things are right or wrong in a way that's independent of the rules.

I don't want a platform (or a legal system) that has rules to dictate every moral choice I might make - just the opposite (because that sounds like it would suck, really badly). But that doesn't mean we can't have well-reasoned opinions and discussions on what counts as a more or less ethical course of action.

This is a complicated situation, one that doesn't reduce neatly to one particular issue once you consider the details.
