““I could fall face-first into a bag of dicks and come up sucking my thumb”, as the saying goes. I’m that kind of woman.”

I suspect in Ontario that is also due in part to necessity...no one can afford lawyers except the well-off. And I have seen the baiting that lawyers will do to draw out the battles.

I’m not justifying the hackers actions, not even saying what they did is right, but I am saying Ashley Madison took money to do “full deletion” of members information and never did it. A Crime. I feel no sorrow and will not consider them hapless victims. Their clients are hapless idiots who haven’t kept up with…

No, I don't think it's right either. But somewhere along the way, people have to take responsibility for their bad choices. No one can afford to be gullible about the internet now that we know it is not a safe place. If one doesn't know and understand what this means, they haven't cared enough about current events in…

The reason these clients didn’t understand this: they were promised by Ashley Madison that they would be protected. For a fee…

I would like to hug that comment. Don’t care much about adultery, but idiocy...that is a crime. Having said that, a promise you pay for (privacy) and then lose everything over, would piss me off.

Ashley Madison’s business is a scam. Lulling people (who wanted to do whatever it was they wanted to do) into believing they had privacy guaranteed by Ashley Madison and so they should do it through them. Wrong. And illegal. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but their can’t be a crime perpetrated against an already…

Misguided, and yet AM said it was a fait accompli. Thank you for your dollars, idiots.

There it is! Exactly.

I don’t condemn the hackers for one reason: they exposed that what AM account holders paid dearly for (secure, private accounts and permanent deletion of their information for $20) was a lie.
