Hi Larry:
I don't mean to argue with anyone on the list about John Hills ethics (I
give him a lot more credit than any of you seem to), but I continue to
think it was wrong to post that someone is a thief and is actively engaged
in stealing systems on a public forum without presenting overt proof.
You might say (as many of you have)... "this guys ethics bother me, Im not
at all comfortable with his business approach and I choose not to use or
trust his service." In that case I would say that you were well within your
rights and that you were being entirely fair. But,in my opinion, outright
claiming he is a thief without presenting facts isn't either ethical or fair.
Let's remember that the opportunity to commit a crime is an entirely
different matter than actually committing it. I have opportunities to
commit crimes every day, but I choose not to and, I suspect that John Hill
would likely choose not to (again, just my opinion).
Anyway, before this gets out of hand, this is my last post. I think we all
have better things to do. I am simply putting in a word in defense of
someone that I believe to be an ethical person.
