To me, the most interesting thing about this whole business is how it reflects the current accepted ethical standards. How do people work? What standards do they make decisions based on?

for example:
Would you tell the world the details of your sex life if asked? Would you especially tell a self-righteous, judgemental group if there was a way to minimize anything you had done? From tsq's last post

As a preface, tsq, I'm not judging you, simply making an observation of your rhetorical question. It expresses a portion of your value system, that you value perceived innocence over your own integrity. And by integrity, I mean that to yourself. As well, you assume that this is the natural response to that given situation.

Another interesting thing is that most people form their opinion, and put the facts (and rhetoric) that support that opinion, and discard the rest. Myself included.

In the next post, I'll tell you my thinking on this, and let you all tear me up, if you care to.
