> ...Though Dr Bob did choose to have the party in Chicago which excludes certain people from attending rather than, say, Auckland NZ which would have excluded certain others ;-)
The inference from that I gather, is ethics of convenience "I wanted to do this, so I'm going to rationalize a way for it to be fair"
I can't imagine anyone having an opinion would feel it any more or less exclusive if Dr.Bob had held it in Japan, or if there was a conference he invitated people to that happened to be in
L.A.Life circumstances are going to prevent some from going to a party. That does not make it an exclusive event if all are invited.
I really wish the topic of the party and the exclusion could be left alone. It's clear what you are saying, that there are personal desires
affecting the consistancy of ethics. There are not.
Some see the two as being different in a way that you do not. Please try and accept this without feeling as if you need to educate the commoners. I wish the inferences would stop. I wish this topic could be let go of. Believe it or not critical thinking is not a foreign concept to us.
