What kind of moral reasoning is this? There's always some group of people we can see victimized without batting an eye. "What's bad is what shocks our conscience" is no philosophy of justice. It barely qualifies one to write an advice column.

Meanwhile: exactly why is it you believe it's OK to hack the personal emails of mafia members? Having committed some crime, is it your feeling that they simply deserve all the punishments we can conceive of? I agree with you: few would bat an eye were that the standard. You could probably break a few kneecaps, too, if you wanted. Fair's fair!

Who else's privacy can we simply ignore? How about Scientologists? The Ku Klux Klan? Sounds great so far. How about NARAL? CAIR? You want to take a vote and see how far we can go?

I'm pretty sure my ex's new boyfriend is up to no good. I'd like to add him to the list.
