I feel there is some unease. The routine of the newsgroup has been broken. To answer your question, yes we can, this is my last post to this thread. Summarize : Computer_Ethics would be a better word then Moral Standards, which is defined in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments_of_Computer_Ethics#The_Commandments It is a wiki so anyone who does not agree with this knows what to do. I we would make exceptions for this newsgroup that is possible. Please create a specific Computer_Ethics wiki page somewere and let us know. But until that moment I assume that the standard Computer_Ethics applies. I did not want to enforce any moral standard. In the contrary, I just wanted to reveal the existing rules which were hidden, at least for me. There were persons would thought this is a topic and some who don't. No one forced you to respond. Those would did think it was a topic got not always a polite reply. So a second reply by them was very limited. This blocks an open discussion. I would have appreciated a bit more courtesy to people who have a different opinion. The discussion about allowing the discussion (using which rules?) took all the attention. At the end it seems to be quite simple. The problem is solved. If needed I will refer to these Computer_Ethics in future threads. I thank all who contributed, to those who did want to start an open discussion and also to those would did not.
