And they can do it with Facebook too. Where does the revenge stop? Why stop at hacking, why not stone them to death like theists have?
How about when fundies try to shut down strip joints by outing patrions? We to assume none of them are going behind their partners back?
I bet there is not one person reading this if they dig deep enough who doesn't have a family member friend or co worker who at some point has done something stupid. Outing someone face to face is one thing, this is carpet bombing on top of being criminal and judgemental.
It has been a while since I read some of the earlier posts, but if my memory is correct, no one has said that they think that hacking should be legal. What people like about this is that assholes are getting burned on this. It is kind of like when a thief steals from another thief. Of course, no one is saying that thievery should be legal; but there is a poetic justice in assholes getting theirs.
I have no problems with the hackers, if caught, getting the full penalty for hacking. But if a hacker is going to hack, I would much rather a hacker hack a site for assholes run by assholes than them hacking another site. Just like I would not cry over Donald Trump being murdered. I think that if he is murdered, then his murderer should be punished, if caught. But if a murder is going to take place, I would rather an asshole be murdered than someone who isn't an asshole. I really could not get very upset if someone murdered Donald Trump. But, I am not condoning murder either.
