I don't think there is a question that we use guilt as a tool to help people make, what we consider, good choices. The real question is whether it is appropriate or inappropriate.

Apparently I was too subtle.
We have been explicity instructed as recently as 15 months ago NOT to use guilt to motivate.

Fourth, eliminate guilt. I hope it goes without saying that guilt is not a proper motivational technique for leaders and teachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must always motivate through love and sincere appreciation, not by creating guilt. I like the thought "Catch others doing something right."

You are conflating improper guilt-tripping as a motivation technique with the appropriate guilt someone should feel for being dishonest.
Thus, my sarcastic response.
