Fine with me, and I think it is a good distinction to make. Though, to
take the vegan-wacko side for the moment - if you see someone torturing
a cat, will you classify their behavior as "socially unacceptable" or
"immoral"? To me, "socially unacceptable" implies using the wrong
fork at dinner, or drinking tea with your pinky sticking out. (or is
it supposed to stick out? I've never been sure). I think we need a
stronger word than "socially unacceptable".
