kudos:1 | not being honest? I understand quitting, now that CBS has made Cnet a biased news source. But it seems to me Cnet has been very open and honest about that fact, so his statement seems strange. |

If he was going to quit, he could have told the suits he would have his team revote and then publish the original anyway. At the same time as giving his notice.

Yes, it would have made him look like he had a great deal of integrity. |

That is a textbook definition of burning a bridge. Wouldn't surprise me if he found it hard to obtain employment afterward either.
IMHO, he handled it the right way - listen to management and then resign. |

| He did do the right thing, and I hope he finds work with another tech outfit (The Verge, Engadget, Ars Technica, etc..). |

Did you not read the article? CBS tried to make it sound like it was just being removed from consideration for an award when in fact it had won the top award and was stripped of it. That is not dishonest to you? |

That is CBS being dishonest, not CNet. That was my point.

True, albeit coerced dishonesty / done under duress. |

When the order comes from the people who write your paycheck, and it doesn't require breaking the law, there is nothing wrong with following it. |

If it doesn't involve anything illegal or grossly immoral, one shouldn't make blanket judgements on how others act when faced with an ethical dilemma. The "good German just following orders" you are alluding to doesn't apply here as this doesn't involve genocide.

One who insults others on an anonymous message board is the very definition of a coward. I was not personally insulting you.
My personal opinion is that one should stand behind the ethical choice, but I have been around long enough to understand that choices are not really that simple and that one must have food and shelter to survive, and others may be depending on you to provide that. Many people may agree with your opinion, but many will also agree with my view that everyone's circumstances are different - a decision that is right for one person is not necessarily right for everyone.
