it should have been totally obvious that my original statement was related to business strategy, not homicide.
I'm well aware that I have a looser sense of ethics than average, but ethics is a cultural construct that can be debated on its own merits.
Not abusing trust, not breaking promises and not being violent are the core tenets of my ethical/moral beliefs - the violence one is just not relevant to business discussions. I've often discussed this with people who have stricter codes that are adhered to less stringently.
your comment verges on ad hominem. If somebody wants to twist my words to make their point, yeah they'll get a little sarcasm in return.
Clean it up. Learn some respect.
