I too have great difficulty in seeing the 'immorality' of this behaviour. There's no theft and there's no fraud involved. Just because someone does something you don't like doesn't mean it's immoral.

Nail on the head there!
Personally, I believe this is an amoral sitiation. One where morals dont come in to it. In the same way crossing the road i amoral

I wouldn't say "crushing" is the right word. I think I used "disappointing", and that seems more appropriate. Enough to crush my very soul? No. Enough to take Hexus from my bookmarks? Yes.

And yet you keep coming back to whine.

Of course, my absence won't hurt the site in any way, and I'm not narcissistic enough to believe that.

91 posts in nearly a year, im inclined to agree.

Personally i dont think theres a problem, its his story, if he wants to add his opinion good for him, it was clearly his own opinion and was not stated to be that of Hexus's, if it "dissapoints" you that much.... who cares? lol

"Whine" is simply what you call it. But I'll come back as long as there's a discussion to be had, especially as it keeps you happy

We're in agreement, w00t.

You don't see a problem, I do. Therefore, I "whined", and you didn't. I guess, if no-one really cared about my opinion, they'd stop replying to it. Sort of, logical, don't you think?

Thinking "who cares" about forum posts makes enough sense I suppose, but it is something of a slippery slope. I.e., perhaps no-one cares about what I write. But then, perhaps the same could be said about what anyone else writes. I guess we either just abandon all forms of community interaction, or keep communicating, in the relatively safe knowledge that *someone* will care, either to agree or disagree. In fact, you could even argue that all forum posts are made irrelevant of "caring", by the very fact that it's impossible to tell whether someone will care before you make the post and find out the response later.

Ohhhhkay.

We can all stop the arguing about arguing and every damn nuance of everyone has said.

You want to do that, go here: http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=91744

Yep, if there's anything to come out of all this, at least I got a blog out of it!

I find bits of this thread rather silly... really.. This world has become so shrewed that individuals are actually thinking that collective agreement actually translate to things being legal.

Certainly, Synergy6 has some FAINT logic in his argument. They choose to sell it, its their choice. I agree... but if you said that then it shouldnt be made in any way illegal. I disagree... say for example, you will always have the choice to sell drugs. Or traffic drugs into South East Asia. Its still all choice. But moral values carry different degrees. You try that in Singapore, then be prepared for a funeral in prison. Think about it, since there's so much drug traffickers, and that all agreed that its normal and should be legal, should it be legal?

The truth is, yes or no.. That how much of a mustard that world has become. If you can get a country with 50% of its ppl being drug sellers. The law may actually pass on as legal for drug export. But will the rest of the world concur? Again, yes or no.. Its again, choice.

Everything starts off by choice, but its the moral values that has been presented to us when we're young that dictates which are those that carry more benefit to everyone that of singular gains or advantage. Choice is always a test, and logic, as much as it may seem to be practical, are often shrewed by the perspective of how an individual is brought up..

Call it guidelines, and being an engineer/genetist, call them a system boundary where the most efficient processes are actually generalised. The notion, one has to sacrifice individual gains to achieve greater good, usually doesn't go well with capitalism or democracy for that matter, but in certain definitions of our lives, this usually carries its notion as 'being moral'.

So all in all this is just one big discussion with no ending to it, Synergy6 has been brought up to understand the world in a slightly different perspective to us. I accept that. That doesnt make him anymore intellectually inferior or anything else. He dictates what he thinks is correct. And he has intepreted the moral guidelines differently from us. So be it..

I do not like the fact that the world is so shrewed, but it is. Ebay, which seems to be all noble in this move, must have gained something in the back. It capitalism at its best. But as individuals like me and others which thinks that this is incorrect. We can only hope by maintaining our moral values, things can change for the better. We cannot commit change, if it can be done, Amitaba should have already done that ages ago.. But the decision lies in the choices we make. And the answer to those choice ultimately lies in the person we are. We must also understand, noble causes usually presents novel opportunities again for shrewed ones to exploit, but then again, being responsibly moral within ourselves is what most important.
