Matt, one very important thing. I'm not going to argue the pros and cons of cross-sales because it's too lengthy an argument and it's not my place to argue it, but I do want to point out one huge flaw in what you're doing.
First, moral and ethics are based on personal values. Just because you think cross-sales are morally/ethically wrong, it doesn't mean that everyone thinks they're morally/ethically wrong. And it doesn't mean that those who disagree with you are any worse off.
Millions of people think porn is morally/ethically wrong. If one of these people tried to force their beliefs on you (which is essentially when you're doing here to some extent), would you respect them? Would you listen to them?
Want more examples? Say your younger sister/brother/cousin was dying of something, and a blood transfusion could help save his/her life, and you were the only person who could authorize it. Would you? Some religions think it would be morally or ethically wrong to do that. But they wouldn't force their beliefs on you.
On the flip side, some religions or societies think it's morally/ethically correct to allow a husband to kill a wife if she's caught cheating, but not to allow the reverse. But they're not here in Canada or the US advocating for that.
You're entitled to your opinion. We all are. But none of us are entitle to force it upon others. Doing so only makes you look worse in the eyes of many. You have no right to have a holier-than-thou attitude because of your opinion.
This thread has over 100 replies and over 30 participants. Of those 30+ participants, the vast majority aren't taking your side. And I suspect that's based on your attitude rather than your arguments, because they do have some merit.
