I consider myself a person of ethics. I try to do the right thing and I like people who are the same.
My room-mate has been screwing this girl. And I really don't like her. (She is a liar and a manipulator who tosses people away like garbage when they are no longer useful)
So I distanced myself from her.
And then, my room-mate launches into this huge rant, attacking my ethics and saying that the way I judged other people was wrong, and that I was a flawed person. I basically countered that ethics were subjective and that I was well within my rights to decide my friends, and to decide what values are important to me. I got defensive, but i kept my cool.
However... over the next week, he constantly insulted and mocked my ethics. Today, I reached my breaking point and I chewed his ass out.
