70. "Someone done did me wrong!"

Yeah, that may explain some responses; others are more the "voyeur" types, enjoying, feeding off the misery of others.

I dont personally believe it is ok, in that I think any good relationship or marriage needs honesty and mutually accepted ground rules to survive, but I also dont believe it is intrinsically anyone's business but those directly involved.

I agree. This is about "shaming" sexually consensual activity. One doesn't have to agree with it in order to see it doesn't concern them and this type of behavior (hacking) serves absolutely no viable purpose other than enforcing one's own sexual mores on others.
