How is it immoral to point out that if a person is perfectly happy to commit one wrong act, deny it until it's obvious, then claim they don't care or attempt to justify it with the flimsiest of excuses once, they're just as capable of doing it again? How is it immoral to point out that someone who defends another's actions, in spite of all the evidence, on the basis of feigned ignorance and their own admission that they base their opinion only on their spouses (and not as the result of their own) reasoning, is likely to do the same in the case of other unethical actions?
As for "why this issue should be buried FOREVER and never, ever talked about on any MUD community forum", since when is a controversial issue not supposed to be talked about? Hiding one's head in the sand is never a solution. Unless, of course, you're afraid of the consequences of discussion.
As for my post being "the most disgusting thing ever posted on TMS", how do you qualify that as so? As I said above, if she can defend Vryce's actions based solely on his word while claiming ignorance in the face of evidence contrary to it, what's to keep her from doing the same for any other unethical act he may ever commit? And given that he's perfectly happy to commit an act that is deemed unethical and shows no regret in doing so, what's to keep him from applying that same lack of principle to any other action? And as for the both of them, if they can rationalize and justify their unethical actions, what kind of role models will they make as parents? Children learn their behavior. If it's ok for the parents to steal and make up excuses to justify it, what's going to teach a child that stealing is wrong? Or for that matter, that anything is wrong if you can come up with some flimsy excuse to defend it, especially if noone takes action against you legally?
That's one of the problems with our society: bad parenting.
