Absolutely, wich I encourage.Maybe.
It really depends on their ideas more than how they came up with them. I don't see a moral problem with refining your philosophy by using other's thoughts and ideas. It's the definition of 'study', no?
My first thought as another person stated was that the TOS removes any ownership of the messages you post once they are sent to the site.
So, it is not an ethical question at all. You post stuff here and the site owners can use it as they see fit.
If you want to change the scenario then maybe there is room for discussion.
This scenario doesn't include site owners/operators, this would be any other member. Would this change how you interacted with them if you knew you might be their guinnea pig?
