I know this is really between you and Harry, but isn't it obvious that the
Golden Rule applies here? How would you feel if your personal or professional ethics were called into question by some stranger for no apparent reason?
Perhaps you may not care, but it does seem unlikely that you cannot imagine that random aspersions by strangers may be hurtful to some.
