Remaining ethical on a personal level in business is almost impossible. I know. I've owned a few businesses and my personal ethics have always gotten in the way of them really taking off. Look at almost every sucessful business, whether it's Microsoft, or whoever, a lot of unethical things took place for them to get hwere they are. And they are things that these people would never consider doing in their personal life. But when it comes to money, all bets are off. It's the dark side of capitalism and as long as it's legal, heell even if it's illegal, ethics be damned, we are gonna make a buck. Just make sure we don't get caught.

Yes, whoever listed Bushing having a Masters did a bad thing and doesn't reflect well on Bushing. But this a witch hunt. Planich made claims about the DiMaggio bat that were inaccurate or flat out wrong. Everything I've seen from both sides says that most likely the bat is what it is claimed to be. When this was pointed out, we were shills for SCDA so a new point of contention needed to be found. As each thing that is brought and discussed, something new needed to be discoved. There are a core of people that are out to discredit Bushing at all costs. If this core is so concerned about these topics, why aren't they investing Taube and all the other gamer experts? Almost all the concerns brought up about Bushing are industry wide issues. As long as Bushing is the sole target, then this is nothing more than a witch hunt.

And the auction houses are still getting off light on this whole game used issue.
