This is literally too stupid for me to respond to.
But since I already typed the words i guess i'll do it anyway.
Nope. I'm saying just because you caught someone not being careful does not make you in the right (remember the person who started this was trying to make it a moral issue. which honestly my real response is just lol.).
If you really aren't getting this (you aren't) I'd happily elaborate the concept to you, including the moral void of accidents, provided you don't insult my intelligence over my choice to convey an argument (which other people both understood and saw the validity of) in a semi-humorous way.
Or, more simply, get off your f'ucking high horse.

Like i said i don't actually care about the morality or really see it as present. I was only not ok with chicols defense of his actions from a moral stance and based on poor reasoning. And that fact that he is lying to himself. I mean he tried to lie to us as well but it obviously didn't work on me and i can't speak for anyone else. You can extend that it is "morally" wrong to even buy a mispriced item. If i did actually tie morality to such things i'd say it is a more complicated situation, and that most of the fault does lie with the seller. But in a perfectly moral ideal world no one would buy it. I could also argue that that level of morality is suspended inside the free market by mutual understanding and done so openly and plainly. Seeing as a divine power is not running maple story (even if one compares nexon to a divine power, they are hardly handing us down a solid sheet of morals to go by) It follows logically that all morality in the game is social contract. Meaning the suspended morality within the FM allows one to buy mispriced items whether mispriced out of ignorance or rush, or a simple missed keystroke, without it being a moral issue.
But again, not actually the point.
