I don't think advocating that others should follow certain ethical
principles
is at all arrogant.
It's arrogant as soon as you use the word "should". "Shoulding" is one
of the 100+ "Elements of Criminal Thinking". Try "IMHO It would be
better if..." to offer your personal POV, which others are free to
accept or ignore. Your views will gain more attraction in that manner.
What is correct and what SHOULD be done, SHOULD never be put second to
political correctness.
When people is doing wrong, they ought to know that. If somebody isn't
going to listen to moral principles, watering down the criticism so that
it comes as a suggestion to him instead of a moral obligation corrupts
the cause and corrupts society because it makes ethics appear as no more
than a mere "suggestion" instead of a must entailed by human nature.
That is exactly the mistake that the Open Source Movement made.
I do not see how moxalt's behavior was arrogant. Quite the contrary, if
anything is arrogant, is the suggestion that we leave should leave aside
the imperative tone of moral for the sake of the comfort of the people
who are too indolent to care about moral.
