Default Ethical Q

You play someone Heads Up. They quit you saying you are too good and your action isnt welcome. What are your thoughts on

i) Playing them under a different alias on the same site if the site allows multiple aliases.

ii) Playing them on a different site where you know who they are but they dont know who you are.

Does it matter if they are a douche or not?

Both of these seem fine to me, though I have some reservations about the first one. It does seem quite close to using somebody else's account to play the guy, which seems pretty scummy to me. If you're the sole owner of all the aliases and multiple aliases are allowed (is there any place where this is true?) then it seems fine to me. Whether the guy is a douche or not is of course irrelevant to the ethical question, though it does likely have some influence on your actions.

qft. It's become such an accepted practice to play under someone else's screen name these days, though I still think it's pretty despicable.
