I do not think that getting sweated by a better player is unethical really, given that there is not, and has never been, and likely never will be a precedent for 1 player to a hand in online poker. People need to stop using live as a frame of reference for online poker. The fact is, they are just 2 different beasts in this day, and I do not see why we need to say "well x should happen online, because it happens live."
Anyways, I'm willing to be convincned I am wrong, so discuss.

You are wrong. Want to know why?
I go downstairs into the turning stone poker room. I find a random donkey playing 100max and say, yo I'm stealthmunk, best poker donkamenter in the world. Let me back you in the sunday million for 90% and I'll coach and ghost you over AIM. He obviously agrees, who wouldn't?
Is there any difference from what happens above and multiaccounting? NOPE. Only multiaccounting is against sites TOS and ghosting is legit as it is clear there is no 1 player to a hand rule in online poker.
I win.

aren't you agreeing with him?

No, just because it is permitted by the site (legit) doesn't mean it is ethically sound. Ghosting/AIM/"multiaccounting" are all part of a huge grey area that is how rigged online poker is, [censored] is rampant yo. you can't say x is legit but y isn't. it all isn't legit. its the internet. and when there is a lot of money to be won, smart people will ALWAYS do whatever it takes to get that chedda. facts are facts.
point of my post was saying ghosting is just multiaccounting 90% lolz (above post). and as multiaccounting is seen as unethical, ghosting should be seen as unethical too.
PERIOD.
