The Sword and Scales: Your
on-line repository of crime and justice
Issue 7.03
Greetings
Loyal Reader,
By
Loyal Reader, this day I do not intend a general term of endearment for the
masses reading this journal. At this
point, let’s speak honestly, I am not persuaded at all that anything like “the
masses” are following these words. I
have had a wonderful revelation today. I
know now to whom this blog has been addressed to all along. I know who My Most Loyal Reader is, my number
one fan, the one individual that I know never misses a single issue. This entry is a letter directly to you, sir,
and with thanks.
This
is an open letter to you, Alpha, my Most Loyal Reader.
Let us
have a conversation, shall we? A dialogue
between gentlemen. You have recently committed two errors which need to be
addressed. Error the first: You have threatened something very precious
to me. Error the second: you have
underestimated me. You have
underestimated my investigative powers, my jealous loyalty, and my simple and
unflagging sense of right-and-wrong. I
am a cyber-effing warrior, sir. And we
live in a cyber-effing world. The pen is
mightier than the sword, and the cursor mightier still. You have already shown me so much of yourself,
and I have so much more two see. Each
day, each interaction we have, paints a clearer picture of who, and what, and
perhaps most importantly, where you are.
And I will not allow you to take one of mine. Not on my watch.
This
is to say: I am coming for you
Alpha.
And as always...
give me your blessing: truth will
come to light;
murder cannot be hid long;
a man's son may,
but at the length . . . truth will
out.
- W. Shakespeare
