When are bombs OK?

[Roomba]

1. There was hardly a robot rising, although if I hadn't been suicidebombed it may of gotten to that stage. There was 4 robots, 1 died early on, all 3 robots were killed in about 5-10 minutes after the bombing.

See, that's the issue. The borgs might not have seemed that effective to you, but they'd already killed quite a lot of people. I know that they're all syndie borgs, that the only roboticist on duty is helping them, and that if the problem isn't stopped at the source the syndie borg problem is only going to grow larger. The quickest solution I had on hand was to take out robotics + the roboticist, to stop the problem from snowballing and make life harder for any syndieborgs that survived the blast. Although I doubt you'll believe me, the bomb really wasn't just me - a few other toxins scientists had been cooking them up before I came into the scene.

Is it just the fact that it was a suicidal act bothering you? Would it have been less of an issue if I'd just chucked the bomb and ran, or dug up a bomb suit, or taken some other measure to survive it? I felt the bomb was the most appropriate measure and didn't mess up anywhere that wasn't already busted, the main reason why I didn't try surviving it was because it was a very frustrating round and i didn't particularly want to live further.
