Your arguement is so wrong from so many ethics standpoints. Even OP started with "I know this is wrong".
HE didnt wish she was dead, his friends did.
I think I said I BET he hates her, but we dont really know what he REALLY thinks right now, do we?... Knowing him, I would imagine he'd rather just forget her altogether and move on, and if he tells me he "hates" her in confidence, then are those real feelings or just words? Oh, I think he would not like to see her around and does not like her at all, and I think he would gladly grab the miles if they came to him in such a way, but man, what are you trying to tell me? Based on what she was like to him, I certainly would hate her and take her miles!

Is it wrong to get in and take something of hers or anyone's? Sure, but I aint the one who did it, and I am not telling everyone to go out and do it either. Anyone in here who cannot think for themselves has got to reconisder their own position.
As far as i am concerned, if George's story were what happened in this case, is it more justified than not for him to take his evil X's miles? I certainly think so.

Why do I get the feeling that the sheer fact that I was willing to come up with some form of wild justification to any of this suddenly makes me out to be some type of bad guy here? It seems that that people like yourself would rather eagerly go grab pieces of my quotes and try to illustrate to the FT community that I am the real evil doer here just for THINKING up such things!

Ethics aside, I find that even worse a move!

Now, this same issue has come up before in other threads and it's always the same thing. Reminds me of the white out story where someone got on my case just for having a freakin' imagination. Screw it--people here have to lighten up, Francis!... Like I said, I'd still take her miles if that happened like that to me.

It won't though, BTW.
