In general, someone who has not abided by a moral principle has forfeited
any right to protection under that principle.  For instance, if someone is
trying to kill someone else, then it is moral to kill them, because they
have no right to object.  Morality is exclusive of double standards.  The
person who commits an offense against another and then whines piteously when
the same is done to her or him is trying to have it both ways.
