Does your defense extend to others? Do you believe that anyone should be able to avoid consequences if they’re clever enough to stay anonymous?
Avoiding consequences for unethical actions is, itself, unethical. If you don’t want the time, don’t do the crime.
Fair. If before an impartial judge and/or a jury of your peers. Not so much in the case of an internet mob.
Same answer, though — if you don’t want to get hung by an Internet mob, don’t poke one with a short stick.
