News item of the day: Woman blames security flaw in Mozilla web browser for destroying her relationship.
From the article:
“This privacy flaw has caused my fiancé and I to break-up after having dated for five years… Firefox should be respecting every single area of privacy per user on one system. It’s not doing that,” the woman writes.
Now this here, folks, is an outstanding example of how people absolutely hate to take responsibility for their own feelings, responses, and emotional reactions.
The bug in Mozilla did not cause the breakup. Insecurity caused the breakup, together with poor communication skills on the parts of both people involved.
The woman says she and her ex were together for five years. Well, if they were dating for five years, what in the name of all that is holy were they talking about–the weather? Whose turn it was to wash the car? Clearly, neither of them was talking about the parameters and assumptions of their relationship, else she would have known that he was visiting online dating sites, and he would have known that she was not OK with that.
She learned something she did not know, because they were not talking. What she learned triggered insecurity on her part, which she did not deal with gracefully because she does not take responsibility for her own emotional responses. She did not talk about her feelings and the fact that his behavior violated her boundaries and expectations, because they both lacked decent communication skills. And somehow, all of this is…
…Mozilla’s fault?
Amazing.
Erm, is this woman saying that if Firefox had worked correctly, she would never have found out – and that she would have preferred that? Wow. Talk about being non-communicative. O_O
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing…that is really odd.
“Ignorance is bliss”
It’s a truism that for a LONG time people in “comitted” realtionships knew their other was likely cheating but didn’t want to KNOW.

That’s taking lack of personal responsibility to a new level, I think.

Wow.
What you said. Coupled with, “DUH!”
This is right up there with suing a company when you spill your own damn coffee in your lap.

Ok, also “Wow”…but not just to the post, also to the picture of cunningminx.
Wow.
BTW, someone should tell Dennis Leary about this. He’d have a field day. (And not the picture this time.)
