edenfalling: golden flaming chalice in a double circle (gold chalice)
Today's randomly chosen theme is: your moral boundaries

...

...

I can't shitpost about this, sorry. And I can't do a proper post either, because I don't have the time and anyway these things are somewhat conditionally dependent.

Which I guess is sort of an answer? In that I am leery of moral absolutes, because people are messy and do not fit neatly into tidy lines and boxes. Generally my approach is to try to treat people how they want to be treated, except insofar as that harms me and/or other people around them/us (or is something I can't promise to follow through on reliably, in which case I can at least inform the person that I can't be reliable on the issue and they can decide what they want to do from there) -- though that's more of an abstract ideal than something I'm considering every moment.

Mostly I just want to have some basic decency and not be an asshole, and have other people extend the same courtesy to me. It is a work in progress.

But I don't think I can give you any hard and fast lines and say, "This I will not under any circumstances do" (or forgive, or rationalize, or whatever), because life is messy (understatement!) and people are mutable (especially under stress) and as I said above, I am leery of absolutes.
