What is moral varies from person to person. One is born with morals. I'm not sure where expressing a moral opinion could be deemed as hypocrisy. Saying "I think porn is a sin", then viewing porn at night when your wife is in bed is hypocritical. But being selective about the porn you like and stating that others are wrong for not sharing your same tastes or sense of morality is not hypocritical.

There has been some argument over ethical standards. Ethics, being more of a set of moral-based rules shared by a community, are a bit more tricky since we assume that, unlike the morals we are born with, we all share them. I think we've found that there isn't much of an ethical standard here. We are all relying on our own morals to decipher right from wrong. This could be like discussing religion. Agreement will never be reached and someone is bound to get poked in the ass by a priest.
