I second what Ted said.
Simply because something has been determined to be "unethical" by a group of individuals does not, to me, make it anymore a truth than something being labeled unnaceptable behaviour because it is currently not in fashion, or because it is written up as a disorder in the D.S.M whatever.
Our own critical thinking skills are just as valid.
Obviously including those who may have found this 'unethical' behaviour harmful.In this case, I felt well informed,regarding the nature of the site and have recieved much benefit, and hey, I just like it.
Because a self-ordained higher power has deemed it unethical does not eradicate positive resultsIf no one ever dared, intentionally or not, to flout established ideas, homosexuality would still be considered a mental illness.
We'd still think Galileo was a heretic..and on and on and on..
