See, that is the logical trip up.
Just because it ended badly for YOU doesn't mean it will end badly for him, for me or anyone else.
Again... presumption.
At no point did anyone ask about the ethics of the situation- but somehow the original topic has been derailed into an ethical question- and now into what is verging on a personal attack.

Well, that is coming off like a snide personal attack.
I'm not 'terribly offended' at all.
You've misread my comments.
All I am providing is an argument (one I believe in) that we shouldn't sit in judgement of others.
That's all.

In any case I don't see the point continuing this line of discussion- it is tertiary to the original question and getting us nowhere.
Let's agree to disagree, shall we?
Peace.
