Wow, we must be having two different discussions. I don't disagree with your last comment. In fact, not a single word of my comments have anything to do with the internet, and, in addition, my original example predates the web by a good ten years. I only object to your making blanket statements about it being "unethical" to <insert absolute statement>. That is hardly a relativistic bullshit argument. In fact, entire fields of human study are devoted to the intricacies of the edge cases of such "embarrassing arguments." If only ethics could be reduced to predicate calculus.
