That seems pointless. Anyone that's thoughtful enough to listen to your ethical consternation will also be thoughtful enough not to do anything intentionally malicious. It's the same reason why the police don't make public service announcements requesting that people not rob banks. Pleading with people intent on doing wrong is not going to change anything. The most you can do is educate people and let them make their own choices. Give us some hard facts about why it's a bad idea to sniff exit traffic but don't just emote.
