I didn't mean 'obsessive' as a smear, more that they were dogged in their pursuit, going as far as crunching biometrics and zooming in on a watch for evidence (enhance.. enhance.. [1]). It was an entertaining read since it looked eerily similar to how conspiracy sites construct their hilarious conclusions. And yet, it was real.
Also, 'relatively innocent' was meant in context of buying instagram followers, not in cheating.
> I'm more disturbed with the evident impulse to forgive. Is nothing important any more? Is character and honesty so worthless?
The thing I'm most disturbed by in these threads is how easily nuance is lost to the power of righteous indignation. It's like we're reading an entirely different set of comments.

- JoeAltmaier 10y agoYou have to draw a hard line on cheating. Else it all falls apart. This person is not 'nuanced'. They are a calculating conniver, a con, a selfish calculating persistent cheat. The 'I'm sorry' letter reads like a con trying another tack. Cons are very skilled at manipulating the audience. They want exactly the reaction the 'forgive and forget' crowd are giving them.
