> good of you to have a moral backbone

I don't want other people making decisions on morality for me. There are people who don't believe that software developers should develop software for the U.S. government because they don't like the way immigration law is being enforced. I'll make my own decisions about what is and isn't "moral", thanks.

Where did this come from? The parent comment simply commended the grandparent comment for not bribing a government official to push a project with poor privacy for users. I don’t see why anyone would see that as a challenge to their moral code.
