Of course. You can have healthy emotional involvement with your job while still setting healthy boundaries. That's what maturity is.
You ought to take pride on a job well-done, enjoy being part of a team with coworkers, and feel that your company does something positive. An online auction site is a positive thing, one reason among many being that it promotes reuse rather than throwing things out.
But to harass someone, to break laws? That's beyond the healthy boundary. That's why boundaries exist. That's gone to unhealthy self-identification with the company. Which is what baffles me so much.
When people go from "it's more than a job" to "I'll commit crimes for this company", it's baffling and scary.
