DWCAP,
I don’t know anything about OCR’s purchase and ensuing flack. I don’t think I am making reference to that? It probably is angry people giving him trouble out of revenge, justified or not.
Like you say opinions on ethics are variable. That is not necessarily my point though. It just seemed pretty predictable that he would have problems with this. I think that started way before he bought a house. It seems to me, he, by his behavior, especially the deleted material, is slowly admitting that something other than his house purchase is questionable. I hope all is well in the long run.
JP, I guess it could be hypocritical depending on the source. There is nothing in my past that makes my commentary hypocritical. I just don’t see what it matters that the problems include an element of hypocrisy.Hypocrisy is endemic to our society, especially business culture.The blog wasn’t working or else it would still be up. Maybe there is a better way to accomplish whatever the legitimate goal was?
As far as the public square comparision goes,well yeah, you can go to a public square and gossip at your own risk. I wouldn’t think at any time in history it would be a good idea to print and distribute material, factual or not, which included accusations of unethical or criminal wrongdoing that affected some one’s fame and fortune. If you do, expect a backlash.Seems like common sense.
