Cheating website hacked and customer data released.

[Excited Penguin]

You didn't give any reason for why you think I'm an asshole. You dodged my question and went right back to your delusions about me.

Also, why should I care if you're offended? Am I breaking any rules? If not, what the fuck is your problem? Please note that I don't really give a shit about pleasing your own damn expectations of how people should act in your mighty presence.

Until and unless you can join the actual conversation going on, without devolving to calling names and claiming knowledge about people's personalities while diverting attention from the fact that you're not actually saying anything worthwhile you're not going to get any gratuitous appreciation from me - if only for the fact that that would prove you to be able to even sustain a proper discussion over something and not act like a spoiled child. It's easy to give off the impression that you're in the right, if only you attach yourself like a leech to a controversial figure and blow shit out of proportion everytime the opportunity arives to do so.

That's rich. You telling me not to devolve into name calling.

It's just a fact of life that when you parade around as you do and egotistically declare yourself intellectually superior in nearly every post, you're going to get called an asshole by somebody. It just happened to be me this time.

You are free to not care if anyone is offended, true. On that same token, I'm also free to point out when you behave like a dick.

To be fair he actually declared himself to have a superior 'intelect'

[Longhorn]

You are crazy. There is absolutely no question about that.

Thanks for your diagnosis, doc.

I don't care where saying this gets me - I can only be honest.

There is a fine line between honest and dick.

You're making my presence here a living hell.

Oh, boo fuckity hoo. Don't like it? You know where the door is. YOUR presence is a pain in the ass in every single conversation.

[Little lunch]

Excited penguin, you're just too hot-headed.
Maybe you should write down want you want to say, go and have a coffee, come back, read it again and then send it.

I agree with a lot of what you say about this topic.
Although I think your age does limit your experience, it's obvious your not stupid.
I don't think your ability for self-inspection is as good as you think, but I like your honesty.
Personally I'd like to see you to stick around but with a little more empathy for minds that don't work the exact same way as yours. :-)

Love lives and reputations may be at risk after the release of customer data from infidelity website Ashley Madison on Tuesday, a dramatic move likely to rattle users' attitude towards the Internet.

Hackers dumped a big cache of data containing millions of email addresses for U.S. government officials, UK civil servants and high-level executives at European and North America corporations late on Tuesday, the latest cyber attack to raise concerns about internet security and data protection.

 

I'm curious to get peoples moral take on something like this. Even though I try to be a philosophical social libertarian which says that people's private lives should be private, there is a very base part of me that loves this. If you are too chickenshit to talk to your spouse about wanting to sleep with other people, then fuck off. Anybody stupid enough to sign up for something like this, esspecially high ranking government officials, deserves what they get.

I have to agree with those who said all parties are scumbags and I find it hard to feel sympathetic for any of them. The only victims here IMO are the people who were cheated on.

I remember seeing one of these cheating sites and just said to myself, "Really? There's a site for this? Why would you join? Heaven forbid your wife is browsing through your bookmarks or something and finds the site." Assuming said couple shares a computer, anyway, but ya never know. Wife/Husband could need to use their computer because their own is busted or something, and then BAM!

I think EP just likes the attention.
