I agree with you insofar as my own moral foundation stands. But a core value for me is freedom, and I would not assume to dictate to the users or markets how they use a cryptocurrency.
I rather see the neutral aspect of Monero being a digital cash for transactions which benefit from privacy. It is a use case agnostic position.

Certainly I can't control how anyone uses it, but I would not personally support such endeavours.
Has this account been hijacked?
So what your saying is you don't support fiat? It is used daily to murder rape and pillage.
How is this being made into an issue?
I agree that including open/free bazaar features in the official wallet is not a good move. I also don't expect the core team to condone illicit activity in any way.
What alarms me is TacoTime's hasty objection to decentralized marketplaces, but not to the decentralized private currency he's currently working on.
He then throws out the word 'intimidation' in a statement that alone could be interpreted as threatening or intimidating. It makes me wonder if he himself is under some kind of duress.
If it were anyone else, I'd assume his comments were made in bad judgement. But this is a person who seems to choose his words very carefully.
I agree with that objection that Monero should stay away from direct contact with potentially illegal markets, for the sake of the coin we should never talk about condoning its use here, but if Monero is used there is nothing we can do about that.
But thats not what I want to talk about, its about Tacotime, he is cozy with Bitcoin developers, we all know they dislike Monero because its a threat to Bitcoin, he will probably leave Monero one day to work in a sidechain with ring signature on Bitcoin, mark my words, it also will in my opinion fail but thats also conjecture.
Just be glad the Monero github is under a public and more trustworthy person.
