Yes definitely! I'm not sure what a better wording would have been but that was clearly a poor one! It does feel, to me personally, like I would be doing the wrong thing if I bought a stash of supplies.

Maybe 'playing fair' might have been a better term to use...

I'm not corrupt, promiscuous, profligate, unscrupulous, unethical or sexually dissolute.

If I went shopping and would normally buy 2 of an item but there were only half a dozen left on the shelf, I'd buy just one.

I don't consider I'm stockpiling or building up a stash as I've not changed my shopping habits because of covid.

I suspect had I said "I feel that wouldn't have been playing fair" people would have accused me of calling them unfair all the same, sadly With regards that list, the third one is the meaning I meant. It would be going against my personal ethics. Of course, that doesn't mean other people are going against their ethics - everyone's ethics will be different!

You might want to bend your ethics for a few of months and try and resupply once you get down to 10 rolls, then you will have a few weeks for them to come back into stock. Nobodies going to think your a horder.

But not through want of trying, eh? Lockdown does rather limit one's options.

Having posted many times over many years on this forum, I really think you're wrong.

I wouldn't have taken exception to being told I wasn't playing fair.

"Immoral" has a totally different connotation.

And so does "unethical".

It's a moneysaving website.

It makes sense to buy when offers are on - if you have the space to store it.
