Titles based on criteria that has been successfully met, as in MVP or Cisco Certified, etc., has no ethical issues. It is an earned title that denotes an area of expertise. It is up to those who view the title to determine if the criteria for getting the title warrants a level of trust and respect.
Personal gifts from vendors that you make purchasing decisions regarding is unethical. Rules of ethics are necessary in this business. Ceaselessly arguing in order to have the last word is poor use of brain power, poor use of this list and poor use of ethics.
