In the French Blender newsgroup, a mini flame war erupted some time ago after
someone set up a web page containing some texts produced by other people
(without asking prior permission). It cooled off quickly, but then it led to
calls for a chart of "proper behavior" and the such, and overall bad feelings
and lack of trust.
So, if we can discuss how "evil" is a particular behavior (most "evildoers" in
these cases do what they do with good intentions), I don't think that there's
any discussion about the fact that even a slight suspicion of "moral bankrupcy"
may be harmful to a group, and not worth the trouble.
