Moral fuck-ups

In the IT world, the Register is a must read. It's main rival The Inquirer has just demonstrated another reason not to read it. They had piece up celebrating the suicide of fugitive spammer Eddie Davidson who happened to kill most of his family too. Commenter Paul said it for me

There is a difference between 'edgy' or controversial editorial and this kind of juvinile nonsense. It's the sort of thing I'd expect to see written by a 14-year old on Slashdot who thinks the idea of prison rape is funny, and somehow thinks that sending spam e-mails is morally equivalent to mass murder.

There is a time and a place for schadenfreude, and this wasn't it, no matter how much of an ass the man may have been.
