Ashley Madison

We had an operations manager come in to our work a few years ago and he was a total asshole, changed everything around and fired some people under bullshit pretenses. Eventually the board booted him and he tried to sue the company for it.

Point being that we searched his email and found it on the Ashley Madison leak. There's your real goldmine... people you actually know!

Frankly, for the overwhelming majority of people involved, I think this is none of our fucking business.

I see the line being in the case of people like Duggar, who are putting themselves forth as a bastion of morality. Fuck him and his hypocrisy.

This is a fair point. I just read something on Reddit about this that I have to admit I hadn't thought of. "people will literally kill themselves, be murdered by abusive spouses or even put to death by their oppressive Government over this". The OP goes on to include a link of a gay Saudi national who apparently used AM while living in the states but has since returned to the Kingdom, and this guy is freaking the fuck out trying to figure out how to get asylum someplace before someone figures him out and sentences him to death. I guess it was pretty short sighted to not consider the more "real world" implications, but I also am not sure I feel very much sympathy for someone actively looking to cheat on a spouse. All that is to say, I experience a small amount of cognitive dissonance on the issue now.

I will stay on the side of outing every "family values" conservative a-hole who ever used it though.

Yes. I'm not defending anyone for cheating on their spouse (or trying to) but that doesn't mean it's okay to release this information.

No dissonance for me. If you are stupid enough to use legitimate, traceable information on a website for cheaters, you deserve what you get. Period.

Totally predictable. What a bunch of idiots.

I'd have to go look for it, but something I read stated that the first leak contained more than 13000 .gov addresses. :think:

It's possible but there will be more cases where a spouse is finally able to confirm that their partner is a piece of shit. I'm pretty OK with it. Plus schadenfreude, I love schadenfreude.

while you do have a valid point:
'play the stupid game, win the stupid prize'

no sympathy from me. too many shitty people in this world.
