Look, as we’ve already agreed, “ethical” is in the eye of the beholder. YOU said the deal looked unethical to YOU. YOU disapproved of doing the deal on that basis. Therefore, YOU are a hypocrite if you BOTH complain about a deal being unethical (as you’ve done here) and at the same time acknowledge that you’d be willing to do the deal (which, admittedly, you have not). My point was that I don’t believe you. You can’t complain about something being unethical on the one hand, and on the other hand engage in the same behavior without being a hypocrite. It’s that simple.
Now, if you were to say, “I think that behavior is unethical but I would gladly partake because my own ethics are malleable,” well that’s a different story entirely. But that’s not what you’re saying. It’s quite clear that you want to appear high-and-mighty and claim to be the only driver on the high road. And I’m calling BS on your assertion. And thus labeling you a hypocrite.
And you can choose to not care one iota and think of me as an asshole.

Yes we have different ethical standards and ethics is different for each person… but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a discussion about what is ethical or not. It doesn’t mean we can’t debate ethics does it? Isn’t that the point of this conversation?
Somehow you turned it into a “You’re a hypocrite” thing.
