You can't justify fighting unethical behavior using unethical tactics.

Did I make the claim that it does? I don't see that claim anywhere in
this post or any other post I've made on the topic.

So, you can post whatever you like, whenever you like, but I can't? I
see.

"We have met the enemy and they are us."
Fighting unethical behavior with unethical tactics is unethical, and it
diminishes you.
I agree with you about Butts, generally, even if I think some of your
specific examples are not indicative of unethical behavior. But the
bottom line is that I think your behavior makes you look bad.
That's all I have to say to you about it.
