Certain things have no gray area while others do. The ones that do, I expect them to be carried out. I'm old enough to determine which scenarios are well defined and which aren't. There's no point in trying to throw an exception around.
When my opinion is consider right and they decide to do the opposite then I can't be friends with them, as simple as that. My life isn't about being friends with everyone. I'm perfectly okay burning bridges with people I deemed as unethical.
