Should I have to be ready and willing to start a campaign every time I learn of something is unethical?

Am I not allowed to call out obviously unethical behavior without offering myself as tribute to correct it?

If I call you out for littering do I have to clean the whole planet?

Sorry this feels bad man, I don't think you are a dirtbag but I think you did a bad thing. Done plenty myself, my crosses to bear, but always turned out better when called out for it.

Cheating is unethical. Choosing to not aggressively grade because the costs (time away from your PhD work) exceeds the benefits is not. I put in what was expected I just didn’t put in more. My moral obligation was to my PhD work, not some grading crusade. No crosses to bear here.
