It is unethical as you are not giving those who contribute right of reply
and may be taking there remarks well out of context, them having made them
without express intent for others to repeat.
The only way round is to cite the website, if you wish to archive it for
reference (given the ephemeral nature of the world wide web) it would be
wise to seek permission and if refused accept that.
