For all those concerned about violence who responded - a slap is very different than a closed-hand (fist) hit.
And looking at the size disparity between these two, I believe that he could probably have defended himself had it escalated.
I sincerely doubt he felt fear for his life or safety in this instance.

Fortunately there is no anger involved in any of them. Apathy is about as bad as it gets. (which could be part of my problem...)

I’m banned from Jezebel. No matter that I’d been commenting there longer than some of those writers could read.
I’m not even sure what I said that was so offensive... 

Oh believe me, I’ve wondered if I’m just not cut out for marriage - but I love being part of a couple!
My Chinese astrology sign is a double fire horse (1966), which is considered to be “unmarriageable.” I’m not necessarily a believer, but it has made me wonder sometimes...

Well, in all fairness, that suggestion could apply to just about every Jezebel article...

This was my take as well... (not condoning violence, but a slap for a cheater doesn’t seem inappropriate)

Hey now, sometimes things just happen! I’m on my third marriage, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to stick. (no infidelity - that I’m aware of - and no bad feelings, the first two just didn’t work out)

I’m not sure that’s true - or at least it’s only true in varying degrees.

I bet you’re fun at parties. (and I don’t mean that facetiously!)

Are you a historian by chance? 

I’ve always known it as a wandering jew... But I like this name much better!

You must be from the midwest!

Fair point. 

Your response is confusing to me... But I will say, it is possible to support someone going to therapy regardless of their income, and still support the need to provide better healthcare for all income levels. 

Well, he’s not really wrong about the school thing...

I don’t think anyone’s calling Pete a hero, it’s just a curious take considering the horridness of the other two people involved.

Right? There are three people involved here - two notorious fame whores and Pete, and this is the route they chose to take?

Really? Of the two famewhore, horrible people we could make fun of in this situation, you chose Pete?
Interesting take. 

There it is!

There’s a joke in there somewhere about the quality of DMB’s music...
