Fact - Daniel and Crystal are the two MOST private members of the cast.

Fact - This video was not released or leaked through any legitimate source. It traces back to a single tumblr account.

Fact - Apologists and those who try to pretend that a violation of privacy of this magnitude is "no big deal" will be blocked from this site. I completely understand why you wouldn't want anyone to post things about the vid or anything like that. I need to point out though that Fact #1 is really just an opinionated thought. I can say the same for a lot of folks to but that doesn't mean I'm right. It's like saying someone is a great guy but maybe his wife doesn't hold that opinion. I'll take your word for it since I'm getting off point. The reason for my post though is on your Fact #3. Don't you think it is a little extreme to block people from the site for expressing their opinion about it? What exactly makes one an apologist or a pretender in your eyes?

I, for one don't think that the invasion of privacy is "no big deal." It is a huge deal BUT it also isn't my privacy that has been violated. To act as though I am horrendously upset would be a complete lie as it would be for anyone OTHER than those personally involved.

As a fan, I feel sorry that this happened to them, as I'm sure they feel completely violated and they deserve their right to privacy. Am I supposed to take this personally though? Don't get me wrong, I am empathetic to their anger and sincerely hope they catch those responsible. I'm just curious to know to what degree of anger and outrage are we supposed to show in order to meet your standards of it being a "big deal"?

Maybe the way you worded it just rubbed me the wrong way. It sounded as though you were dictating how people should feel about this and if they didn't feel completely horrified then you were blocking them. I just fail to see how you can justify being the "moral police" of those that comment.

Again, it is indeed a "big deal" but by what method of measurement can you justifiably dictate the level of sympathy that comes through in someone else's personal feelings concerning a matter that doesn't involve them? Just seems a little too dictatorial to me. Hope this doesn't get me blocked, just giving my opinion.
