Do you really believe that having a family member in law enforcement guarantees that one is ethical? Really? Does that mean you are willing to take my word for it that what Legume did was not unethical? After all, my dad was a cop. Sorry, gotta disagree with you... having a family history of law enforcement has absolutely no bearing on whether or not an individual is ethical, for a myriad of reasons. You can only judge an individual by their actions, not what their family members happen to do for a living. And I gotta say, I really don't think it's ethical to accuse someone of wrongdoing without clearly explaining exactly is wrong. Saying "it's painfully plain to see" doesn't cut it. Saying "I wouldn't do it" doesn't cut it. Saying "I think it is bad" doesn't cut. We get that you think an artist promoting himself is a bad thing. But you still havent said why, beyond some sort of claim of "unfair advantage", and I've already explained why I don't think that argument is valid. I gave clear reasons (well, I think they were clear and no one has asked me to explain them) why I think an artist promoting himself is OK. Can't you do the courtesy of returning the favor? Wouldn't that be an ethical thing to do?
