I'm not going to pretend to know why people use that website because everyone has different reasons to use it. At the end of the day I don't really care because the world isn't black and white. The bigger issue is private matters are being made public by people who think they are doing the 'right thing'.

I'm not saying the hacking is a good thing. Well, if any more *******s like Josh Duggar get exposed... I might. Right now though I am just saying that I am enjoying the results, and I don't feel there's anything wrong with that, given the horrible people being targeted.

It's kind of like when the Soviet Union invaded Germany. Did the Soviets have clean hands? Hell no. But was it fun to see the Germans get their clocks cleaned after all the **** they pulled in East Europe?

Awww yeah.

Sorry, I'm reading a book about World War II right now.
 
This is under the assumption everyone is going back again and again. I've bought crap off Amazon on the spur of the moment thinking that's what I wanted it only to realise after I got it it was a waste of money. Is it not possible someone regrets having done the same with Ashely Madison? Guilt is a powerful thing and some people suffer it immensely. I don't doubt there are people who would be using this service multiple times, maybe for the thrill of it or whatever, but we've got to conclude that there would also be people who go through the entire process only to realise they made a massive mistake.

Or they're specifically signing up for the online attention, but still go home to their spouses, having gotten something out of their systems they needed to get out. That's messy, but it's also very human.

I'm not okay with these hacks. These aren't child predators or terrorists who are causing literal violence. Yeah, hack those people and stop them. But this? It just isn't any of my business, no matter how much I disapprove of cheating. And yes, I have been cheated on before.

Well, AM made it easier for Marvel and I to get together but DC isn't the jealous type. Fox tho, she is clingy and possessive. She might cut me and throw it out the window of a moving car driven by Trank. So, don't tell Fox.

Woman finds out live on radio that her husband has an Ashley Madison account

NOVA radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa were genuinely remorseful after revealing to a woman live on air that her husband had an Ashley Madison account.

The regretful incident occurred when the radio duo solicited for women to call into the show if they’re suspicious that their partner might be cheating on them.

“We’ve found a website that all you need to do is put in an email address or a username and it will tell you if your name has popped up on Ashley Madison,” said Fitzy.

The first caller, Sally from Glebe, admitted that as a single lady she uses the dating site to meet single men.

“It’s not just for cheating, even though that’s how it’s marketed,” she said.
But then the segment went horribly wrong when Jo (not her real name) from Blacktown called into the show.

“When that little thing came on the news about the Ashley Madison hack he sort of went a bit funny and I looked at him (her husband) and said, ‘What’s up?’ and he said, ‘Nothing’,” said Jo.

“I asked him straight out and he said, ‘Don’t be stupid, we’re married, we’ve got two kids’.”

Jo then explained to the radio hosts why she’s so suspicious of her husband.
“His hours have changed, his phone’s very close to him now, bits of money, where have they gone? ... He’s very snippy.”

“I feel like we’re on Jerry Springer,” said Fitzy.

“We’re putting him into this website right now and his details have revealed that he’s actually on the website Jo.”

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Jo said, “Are you serious?”
“Yeah I’m sorry,” said Fitzy.

“Are you freaking kidding me? These websites are disgusting and that girl that called before, she should be ashamed of herself,” said a distressed Jo, before hanging up.

It was clear straight away that the radio duo regretted what had just taken place on air.

“I don’t know if we should have done that,” said Wippa.

“That hasn’t left me with a good feeling. What a horrible situation to be in.”
Wippa then urged Jo, who was hopefully still listening, not to jump to conclusions about her husband.
“He may have signed up, he may have regretted it,” said Wippa.

“Jo obviously needs to have a conversation with him and find out how far it’s gone.”

The confronting segment was quite out of character for the typically fun filled Fitzy and Wippa show and they ended the break by apologising to the caller.
“I’m sorry that that happened Jo. I feel a bit bad,” said Wippa.
 
She called into the show, and got angry when her fears were proven correct? Lol. If she wanted to remain blissfully ignorant she shouldn't have called in :funny:

Strangely enough she's also an example of someone that didn't think her choice through.

But shouldn't it be someone's choice to remain blissfully ignorant? I'm not talking about this woman specifically, but the threat this hack implies. If there's a couple and one of the spouses is cheating, and the other just let's it go as long as it stays out of sight, out of mind, who the hell am I to but in and tell them they're wrong?

So someone tells you they saw your wife kissing a man while visiting a hotel are you going to be mad at them or your cheating wife?
 
You didn't even respond to his point. He was speaking about the victims. Ie- the people who were cheated on. Why do they deserve to have this humiliating information leaked for the entire world to see, when they have done nothing wrong? It's their partners that were the *******s who used this site, not them. Why do they deserve to suffer the shame of this being out in the public? The users of this site, yes, they got what was coming to them. But the innocent other halves are getting a huge raw deal here.


The cheater deserves all the blame.

When you cheat you should know that someone could find out and tell everyone. It's a risk you fully understand when you cheat.
 
Whether the Saudi guy is real or not (as he could very well not be, and hopefully isn't), this kind of unrestricted mass info dump is reckless and dangerous.
 
The entire planet though?

Well, it's not like all 7 billion humans are going to torrent that file and scour it.

I mean, statistically, 99% of these people will probably never be called out on this.

Now, if you're famous, or an outspoken advocate of "family values", you may go a few sleepless nights.
 
Exactly, what if someone involved isn't mentally stable and commits suicide because of the shame and ridicule this brings on them?
 
That's not for you or for them to decide. What's morally acceptable is subjective.

So the only litmus test for morality is what the law dictates?

Nah, I think common sense says if your best friend or brother's wife is cheating on them, you inform them immediately.
 
I doubt that is even real. If it is, he rather screwed himself with that one.

Do people really not use aliases anymore? Also, why is a single man using a cheating website? Is he into men who cheat or something?

Is being married something you must show proof of on that website? I don't think it's farfetched a bunch of single dudes on there just to hoop up with milfs etc. I don't know tho.
 
It says in the article above it also acts as a regular match making service, it's just sold as a cheating website for attention. Are people going to say regular match making sites don't equally draw in married people looking for a fling on the side?

Their ****ing slogan is life is short, have an affair.

So... yes?
 
I'm all for consenting adults doing whatever the **** they want in their own business. While I don't approve of adultery, I think people's business is their own (it's not like I have a lot to say, considering I spent 8 months sleeping with my ex when he was engaged to a girl; however, I have never and would never cheat on my own SO).

Now, someone like Josh Duggar, who is a self-appointed arbiter of "family values" while molesting his sisters and cheating on his wife, deserves 100% to be called out on his BS, because he's using his hypocrisy to hurt other people.

But other people's drama is their business. Do their spouses have the right to know? Theoretically, yes. But just dumping God knows how many people's personal affairs on the internet, IMO, isn't being any kind of hero either.

Cheating is reckless and dangerous.

Homewrecking, jealous spouses, disease, public exposure/gossip, etc.

The buck stops with the cheater. Not the neighbors, media, or hacker who exposes them.
