No.
If I refuse to write derogatory information about you at all, I am ethical.
If I write or condone derogatory information about you elsewhere on
the internet, but refuse to post it or discuss it on Wikipedia on the
basis of ethics (basing my ethics on estimated google juice), I am a
hypocrite of the worst kind.
