When it’s our private lives that are smeared across the internet, we might finally ask ourselves: why did I plaster all my private information across the internet on Facebook ?

No mention that the Conde Nast executive was Timmy Geithner’s brother.

Who the feck IS this chick?

Um...cheating on your spouse while PAYING for a website to HELP YOU DO SO is HARDLY ‘screwing up.’

It is a conscious CHOICE that YOU made when you PAID to JOIN this wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Anybody remember all of this angst over people’s privacy when Sarah Palin was getting her email account hacked?

I would still find it interesting exactly whose records and data were compromised - and what their transgressions against Obama were.

This is simply too convenient. I hear ghe Ellen Romesch Stratagem rearing its head again.

I was thinking the same thing.

This hardly ranks as a “weak moment” or a one off sudden impulsive behavior.

This is premeditated and thought out. I have no sympathy for any of these people.

“Gawker editors took to social media to represent the piece as a stand against infidelity...”

Nonsense. If they were really upset about the infidelity, they would have quietly informed the wife about what they had learned. They would have spared her the ordeal of reading about it in the headlines and having her whole life up-ended, since her life is entwined with her spouse, even if he is unfaithful. Instead, they decided to publicly shame him just to get web traffic, showing no regard at all for his wife or their marriage.

Thank you.

Ashley Madison's employees make money by helping people hurt other people.

They and their customers are asking for turnabout, which is fair play.

Good Episode IV reference.

Keep in mind, the parties in question aren't tracking down pedophiles or murderers or those who commit hate crimes.

Of course not. That would be islamophobic.

"Bet you do too!"

Can't. I'm retired. Get a pension and social security. Divorced. I don't own a house or property, don't have any dependents anymore, don't have any savings, stocks, bonds, or certificates of deposit. No loans, or credit cards. Nothing to claim except myself.

to leak the identities of 37 million users unless the site is shut down immediately.

37 million cheaters? America's destruction of marriage and the family started long before the LGBT movement. They are just the latest disease to infect the dying body.

Blackmail. Somebody created a cash cow of compromising info, and somebody else recognized it for what is was. It’s not about wrecking lives, it’s about extracting money from marks.

In my humble opinion.

No. No I do not remember any angst at all from the authors “we” group members:
ie:

“If we do screw up eventually, do we want our future personal failings to be judged and prosecuted by a self-righteous mob who may or may not share our values and ideas about right and wrong?
When it's our private lives that are smeared across the internet, we might finally ask ourselves: Is this the revolution we were looking for?”

I have to laugh at her juvenile hypocritical idiocy!
The “public” who will now most assuredly judge her, will probably not celebrate her values and her ideas, so “they” are by default, self-righteous!

I'd bet she had no issue with any of the destructive dirty tricks/attacks against other people, or any of the various illegal political and criminal persecutions “her group” has conducted for the last decade or more against “my group”.

After all, she wasn't self-righteous...
ROTFLMAO! Karma is the perfect, beautiful gift that God grants those who obey his command to leave vengeance to Him.
