I would read that as "I'm specifically excluding talking points and discussion on ethics in this subject and focusing solely on the talking point at hand"

That doesn't generally mean they have an ethical take, just that they recognise such things might exist and they specifically don't want to get in to it.

Is that not what you want ?

> And in come the downvotes, for speaking up against divisiveness. Doesn't that make you feel.. something?

I'd assume it was because you were claiming divisiveness when the cause of such divisiveness was specifically excluded.
