This is like the definition of being scared into obedience.

  It is not obedience, not even close. It is highly empowering to act with the high ethical standards no matter what, because it's always in your control. That doesn't mean being acquiescent or being naive. I don't tolerated being mistreated or lied to, but I don't reply in kind: I just leave, I don't come back, and I don't forget.

    Funnily enough, this whole discussion thread is about whether it is unethical or not to "just leave" and "don't come back."
