We feel largely the same way about it. The difference is that I knew about it and you didn't. Other people seem to think my ethical issue is that I knew about it and didn't inform on people. Maybe they are right.

If you were the sort of person who was going to inform on people, you wouldn't know about any cheating because nobody would tell you about it.
To expect you to suddenly change personality is unfair.

You are probably right Lori. He is a coward and one WHO LOOKS THE OTHER WAY and DOESN'T RAT OUT A CROOK to help those being preyed on. Such a person probably doesn't have the backbone to change.

I and others have made my position on snitching pretty clear throughout this thread. It's a non-controversial ethical guideline to most, and I will try to not dignify your attacks on my character anymore, because they have been proven to be irrelevant and besides-the-point.

This is stunning.
Shane, I feel you here. I am neither surprised nor disappointed that people are "going after" multi accounters. It is something that needs to be done to clean up this community, particularly at a time when it seems our livelihood/recreation/whatever may be in jeopardy.
It's equally stunning to me that people are up in arms at Shane for not ratting, snitching, informing the authorities - whatever verb you're keen on using. Shane was told something in confidence and was trusted to keep it in confidence. So what you're doing here is throwing stones at Shane for keeping his word. That's ludicrous.
A man is as good as his word.

Wrong...a GOOD man is as good as his word.
If someone I know, friend or aquaintence did something dishonest that cheated you out of tens of thousands of dollars, would you still pat me on the back if I kept my mouth shut? How does it feel when it effects YOU?
Lucky for you I would do the right thing. To bad you wouldn't do that for the rest of us.
