Title: Re: AUGD: Re: Ethical conduct
I’ve been refraining from commenting on this thread.
But Cheryl posting the “turn in a pirate” link was over the top.
What is this a witch hunt?
I question whether the message that started this discussion should have even had the level of detail it contained to begin with.
The matter should have been taken up with the parties in question first, not posted to a public forum prior to doing so and having all the facts.
So many of you appear to be very quick to shake a finger at others.
I suppose you drive the speed limit everywhere and always help old ladies across the street and have morals that are beyond reproach, eh?
