Life Is Short; Have an Affair

[Aroura]

Sure, I'll try a more succinct description.  Our moral support or tacit acceptance of the situation these people have found themselves in erodes the foundational support, ensconced by our constitution, state...and federal laws, for those very same liberties and protections we would hope to possess ourselves.  

We cannot refer to the fact that they are cheaters and that cheating is illegal to explain or justify this behavior, no ones been convicted of cheating.
We cannot refer to their immorality to explain or justify this behavior, our moral judgements are irrelevant in this context.

Our behavior, in this moral support, in this tacit approval, in these implied justifications, in that small amount of joy - is plainly, simply, -against- our own best interests, in contradiction with who we claim to be, and in glaring defiance of how we handle other, similar situations - even on these boards (leaving the US behind for a moment, as it were).  That the situation makes it difficult for us to see that clearly, or immediately, is what makes it such an interesting situation, to me.

Thank you.  Sorry it took me a while to reply, I was otherwise occupied on this site.

I understand you points.  I do agree with them, as well actually.  It's just that feeling like I should and feeling like do are not the same, even when I know it.

At any rate, it's a character flaw for me to work on (for most people, I suppose).  It is wrong to invade their privacy in the way it was done. It wasn't like cops arresting people or anything.
It's wierd, but IRL I'm totally anti-vigilante.  On the net, I guess I had not really thought it ALL the way through.
