I think there's a considerable difference between:
"I think ethically, everyone should do X, and I will try and persuade
you that this is correct"
And
"If you disagree with me that everyone should do X then you are
unethical"
...and that conflating the two as you appear to be doing so here is
quite unhelpful.
