In reply to the discussion: 'Suicides' Over Ashley Madison Hack [View all]Xithras
(16,191 posts)36. You are a vile person.
they chose to cheat, if they kill themselves out of "guilt" and/or because they got caught suicide was their choice also
Holy fucking pile of judgmental bullshit Batman! What people choose to do within their personal relationship is none of your business, and to even SUGGEST that death is an acceptable outcome for them is horrific.
40% of Ashley Madison users were single. Hundreds of thousands of the profiles on the sites belonged to people who were in open marriages or were swingers (IOW, no cheating involved). Most of the remainder belonged to people who never actually connected with another person, but who were simply living out a fantasy. And as for the minority who actually did use the site to connect with another person and cheat on their spouses? They are none of your, or anyone elses, business.
As for fiat justitia ruat caelum...if you really believe that death is "justice" for these people, you have some serious problems.

Does "self-righteous" and "lack of remorse" refer to the hackers or the adulterers?

Maybe they shouldn't have been cheating if getting caught was so traumatic to them
