Relay bots are part of the dark side. Once you cross that line and have sold out, there's no going back.

The issue is more along the lines of how pathetic is it, rather than is it ok. Most people are going to say it's ok becuase they're already doing it, or have done it in the past. It's only not ok when someone does it to them.

Edit: I'll agree with The Real Arfy, and add that the people who do it just to get an upper hand, or possibly out of vengeance, really need to get a life.
