Would you 'out' a cheater on a website?  Actions...
Posted: by Chatelaine_Team on Tue. 19 Jul., 2011 at 10:46:19 AM
What do you think about a website where you can search the profiles of past cheaters? Do you think they got what they deserved? Or do you think they are entitled to their privacy?

I guess I would be very tempted to “out” a cheater if I found out that she/he was running around having relationships without consideration to both safer sex and people’s feelings.

 

What do I think about it? There’s a quote;

 

Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead. (Benjamin Franklin)

 

Cheaters should expect to be “out” eventually and know that is the risk they are taking when they cheat.  

I don’t think everything on those site is true though. I think anger, jealousy and/or  revenge would have motivated some people to post lies.

you the same question.

If you knew about a man like this, would you "out" him?

After watching only about 1/5 of the video my first impulse was that I'd want to shoot him.

I've seen it admitted on this site that she was cheating on her DH.

I think there is a quiet strength and power in being nice. Some people think that abruptness and saying everything on your mind is strength. But sometimes, having the self-confidence to lift others is the true power.

once it's on the net..it's out there... and as much as you cry fowl you can't take it back...same for those sites..as some have said in this thread, they are also open for abuse and slander ..I can't see myself ever going to a site like that..wouldn't even know what they were and if they existed or not...and if someone was dating a new partner how on earth would they know about such a site and to  search for info? it's like finding a needle in a colossal haystack.  Then again as one poster used to claim, all men cheat..so no point to a site like this anyways if that is the case.

I wouldn't even visit a website like that in the first place. What for?

That type of site rediculous, because ANYBODY can 'out' ANYBODY, even if that person is NOT a cheater! It seems easy for a rejected person to be made enough to put up a picture and profile of the person, and try to ruin them. I think it's irresponsible to have that type of thing available for anybody to abuse.

In reply to: Chatelaine_Team "Would you 'out' a cheater on a website?"
but in the end, figured

1) I didn't want to be embroiled in legal action (I'm assuming the person could sue me for slander)
2) I wouldn't check those sites when dating someone new, so it's probably not effective in terms of warning future partners
3) because there are no controls on who can post, that makes the information highly unreliable, which people who are accustomed to lying can use to their benefit (although one site I looked at required people to swear a legal affidavit)  
4) one of the only things he cared about was maintaining was his reputation--if I took that away, he would have nothing to lose, and knowing he was capable of violence, that was another factor in not taking that action.  

It's just a sad reality that unless the damage is able to be pursued legally (as in the case of the HIV transmission, or physical abuse/stalking/harassment) it's really not going to do anything except keep the person mired in the past.
