In reply to the discussion: 'Suicides' Over Ashley Madison Hack [View all]V0ltairesGh0st
(306 posts)50. yes..... they did chose.....poorly
Please stop with the overreaction, and misquoting what I actually said. My concern is for those who are hurt by the people on the site who specifically did use A. Madsion for cheating which is something they DO specifically cater to.
I Said : "Though suicide is always tragic..." and, "Personally i don't have a lot of remorse for those who did the cheating"
These are no suggestion I that think their deaths are acceptable. Their bad decisions led to more pain, and double so for the ones they leave behind...There are going to be divorces, and custody battles, and all number of consequences...all because of people who decided to cheat.
It's all public now there is no going backwards, so now it is anyone's business especially if they are the one's who were cheated on. What I find vile is there seems to be more remorse here for the cheaters than the ones who were betrayed by the looks of this post.
I Said :... "The hackers are less to blame than the cheaters, but they really should have thought more about the consequences this hack could have on INNOCENT people. " Let Truth be told though the heavens fall " is not always as simple as it seems".
Which if you aren't reading it with a complete over-emotional reaction, clearly means that I think what the hackers did was wrong because they didn't think things through enough and that their actions could result in the deaths of innocent people. In their quest for truth and transparency they didn't factor in everything that could go wrong no matter what their intentions may have been to begin with.
Your reply is classic example of the over-emotional zealotry which mischaracterizes, and misrepresents the words of others to mean something you'd like them to mean, and not what is actually being expressed.
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.

They are none of your, or anyone else s, 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
