It seems likely that what's going on is that you have as an implicit premise in your argument that PUAs are all "good guys" or close enough to all that it doesn't matter, and that PUA skills will mostly only ever be used "for good".

Not even remotely. That position would be the opposite of stupidity.

However if one held such an implicit premise I could see why you saw no value in discussing the relevant ethical issues, since the relevant ethical issues are all dissolved by the assumption that PUAs are good guys.

Have I said I have no interest in discussing ethical issues? That doesn't sound like something I would say. In fact.
