Sorry Francis but I don't see the distinction. One can make a personal decision that is situational (be it moral, ethical or otherwise) and still take responsibility for it. Nor does it make hiding behind any other reason mandatory or even necessary. I've spent most of my life employing situational ethics and consider it to be the same as relativism. My choice of behavior is relative to the situation.
