Yea, really......I agree with the fact that the poker sites makes the rules. But rules and ethics aren't one in the same. The point is that this whole ethics debate is just a red herring. Ethical behavior, especially on a topic as shakey as GAMBLING, is totally subjective. Bots are illegal under T&C, PT is not. Thats the only thing that matters.

Why is gambling a shaky topic? And why do you think ethics are subjective here and not elsewhere? IMO, they are not. You can apply ethics to gambling the same way you can apply them to the Olympics, relationships, and pretty much anything else.

It's unethical to cheat. It doesn't matter if you're taking bribes as judge for Olympic figure skating, or if you're using Bots. It's cheating, and it's unethical.

I don't see why you view gambling in such a negative moral light that you consider the ethics involved to be subjective. Were you okay with ZeeJustin's actions?

You are completelty trivializing the philosphy of ethics. I never said that I thought gambling was immoral. Its doesn't matter if I was ok with ZJ's actions or not, because Party wasn't. You have little understanding of what you're acctually talking about.
