<p>1) I think it’s very nebulous</p>
<p>2) I’m not suggesting that ethical judgments can’t be made or that people do not share ethical values. We aren’t arguing about whether it’s OK to kill people here. </p>
<p>I’m saying that in this case, the “situational ethics” isn’t as cut and dry as you claim. I don’t think it’s anymore ethically reprehensible for posters on this forum to offer up their opinions and knowledge than I think that everything said on this forum should be taken as fact. Everyone needs to take things on this forum with a grain of salt because of the varying “ethical concerns” of the posters here. </p>
<p>3) yes, the OP suggests that he/she cannot make a good faith effort, however, that does not make it unethical to make the information known to the OP or other readers. </p>
<p>4) Your interpretation is yours. For all I know you can think all Duke students are cannibals. </p>
<p>5) You aren’t reading a doctoral thesis on CC. It should be common sense that things said on here should be taken with a spoonful of salt. Anyone who does not have the judgment to recognize and apply that should not be on CC. Also, it’s not really your job to police CC or to impose your standards of PC (or to question the ethics of Duke students).</p>
