Hopefully the entire Duggar clan just crawls under a rock and stays there. What a total, disgusting disgrace.
Read that Toronto police are investigating two suicides directly linked to the AM leak.
I have very mixed feelings about this entire situation. Yes, it's easy to chuckle at would-be cheaters (or the successful ones) getting busted. Plenty of schadenfreude going around. That said, marriage is a deeply personal matter, and I don't know if it's on us--or any outsiders--to really judge what's going on in someone's marriage. How is another couple's arrangement, or struggles, any of my business? If my neighbor's one of the folks exposed, I don't want to know, and I wouldn't be in any position to look my nose down on them. That's their hash, not mine.
Shaming AM's clients is fun, at first, but the leak shows how vulnerable everyone's digital footprint is, and should make everyone question how many of their own foibles and skeletons they'd be comfortable sharing with the entire planet. It's harder to imagine a cheaper, easier shot than slapping a scarlet A on somebody. End of the day, though, it's not our job.
Duggar and other public moralizers do fall into a different category by a) being public figures, and b) presuming to tell people how they should live. If this had been some kind of limited leak exposing outright hypocrites, that'd be one thing. Indiscriminate data dumps like this are something different.
