'Suicides' Over Ashley Madison Hack

[Bonnie Blue]

42. I don't disagree with much of what you say

And if those righteous hackers had used their magic skills to contact each of the spouses privately and individually to say, "Hey, I'm really sorry to have to tell you this, but we've found your spouse's name on a website devoted to cheating," then maybe I'd give them a pass. Though again, I'm not sure why that would be their right or duty. Still, for the sake of argument, let's say that's what happened. These people were genuinely concerned about the cuckolded spouses and were trying to make things right in their worldview. The cheaters were exposed to those who mattered, and the spouses were given the opportunity to make informed decisions. Enh. Could work.

But to put this information on display for the world to see? Nope. It can't be justified.

Let me add this: I did a search for the email address of my ex. No surprise that it was there. That's the reason he's an ex. My family thinks he was just a jerk. Now if any of them look, they'll see he was also a cheater. It was long enough ago (over 10 years) that it's mostly irrelevant. But had this been closer to the breakup, I can guarantee I would not have wanted to listen to the "concern" from my family, friends, and -- worse -- colleagues. It's no one else's business.
