Michelle Slatalla, “Caught in the Deceit of the Web” (2009)

“Given my firm moral bearings, cheating online should make me feel bad. A cheater is a fraud, after all, a class of person so despicable that Dante consigned them all to the depths of the eighth circle of hell. (He rated them worse than murderers, who got to live it up in the seventh circle.)” [. . .]    —The New York Times (August 12, 2009)
