Adultery website Ashley Madison dismisses ‘frivolous’ lawsuit by ex-employee in which Ashley Madison...issued a statement condemning the suit filed by Doriana Silva, who alleges she permanently damaged her wrists while typing up fake profiles of women for the site.

Women employees are required to have flinty voices.

Since we cannot outlaw a site like Ashley Madison, the least we can do is to publicly shame its esistence and sue the bejeebers out of them when they screw over a marriage.

ashley madison is the medium. The wife would have found another device to fuel her wandering eye had it not been for ashley.

"Would the courts also hold a hotel room accountable? A cellphone operator if his wife called her lover on it? The car she drove?" asked Noel Biderman, a former lawyer and sports agent who started Ashley Madison in 2002.

(??) Pardon me, but: is this what passes for logic, in his mind? Hotels, cell phone companies and cars do not (at least, not in my hearing) specifically advocate and encourgage marital infidelity, whereas his company does so in their very slogan (to say nothing of the time and money they spent in hooking up the illicit sex partners). Good grief!

"Women employees are required to have flinty voices."

Not always:

Good.

They need to be sued out of existence.

The most interesting thing about this story is that it suggests that there are actual women on Ashley Madison, which I find suprising.

"ashley madison is the medium. The wife would have found another device to fuel her wandering eye had it not been for ashley."

The difference is that Ashley Madison is promoting itself as the medium specifically for affairs. Other mediums are not. It may well be true that the wife would have found another medium. But those mediums could claim plausible deniability as to what the medium was being used for. Ashley Madison can not. Their marketing specifically promotes affairs.

Where do you get those old-school phones any more?

Matthew 18:6 (ESV)

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!

eBay. Hundreds of 'em there. I bought a white, rotary-dial, wallphone for my kitchen. Works fine and I like the looks.

"Where do you get those old-school phones any more?"

I have a few stockpiled along with a "digital" (pulse) phone line to use them on.

TPC still wants a couple of bucks a month to move to tone (analog) dialing.

This is the same company who promoted themselves by running a pretend counter-ad against itself called “my marriage matters” where you basically learned about this other site for cheating married people

[Nifster]

good for NC and this man…. this site should have to pay

[Nifster]

actions have consequences…. madison is culpable and should pay. IF the wife had found another manner to be a slut (rather than getting a divorce) then that person would have to pay.

It is not a bad thing to have a little shame in the public square

[Rebelbase]

Siberia.

[Dead Corpse]

Still not seeing how this is the websites fault. The wife was a slut. Blame her...
