And Peterson was sentenced to death...

[conuly]

Why? Because the evidence was so compelling?

No.

He didn't show enough emotion during the trial.

(Thanks, rpeate)

Okay, youse guys can now talk about how horrible it is, because I'm too cold to do so.

Uh...could I get some more chalk over here?

[staircase-wit.livejournal.com]

Aww, but it's fun.

[dkmnow.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah...but I know too much bout what makes people tick to let myself get away with that sort of thing. I should have just posted a quick rundown of the relevant tenets of jurisprudence, and left it at that.

[staircase-wit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I've studied the rules of trolling. It is vital to warp the statements of one's adversary, which is what the forker was doing in spades to all involved. It may be hightened emotion, though, bluring the ability to read. It's happened with me, before. I wouldn't assume trolling or stupidity until we see more.

*shrug*

Same here. Though I'm not sure how to define stupidity here, by contrast, the ignorance in several key areas was quite plain.

It always bugs the hell out of me when people pompously equate a conviction with actual guilt, which even philosophy of justice recognizes as inherently unknowable. In fact, the failure to reconize that distinction is sometimes regarded as more of a threat to justice than corruption within the judiciary itself.

But it was the misrepresentation that made it too personal for me. Few things grind my gizzard worse that some ignoramous presuming to tell me what I think.

As for actual trolling, it would depend how much of it was deliberate subterfuge. I don't think that's the case here, which is why I wish I had been a bit more...er...judicious. But speaking of trolling, I'm damn glad no one saw my first reply! Thank Dog for timely deletions!

I, personally, am eating me some Drama Popcorn. *snarfle*

[dkmnow.livejournal.com]

Too late. I've already gone back to my usual thin pretense of worldly magnanamosity.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

dang.

and for some reason, even though I know that your mangan..whahoozy is spelt right, it looks horrendous. Stupid word and its stupid spelling.

[dkmnow.livejournal.com]

It was a bit awkward to type, but I kinda' like it.

Still, I could shake things up a bit. After all, I'm a pretty managnamomanous person.

But even as mamanagnamous as I may be, I still can't stand unintentional misspellings. Which is why I had to go back and add that second "l" in "worldly."

Your best guess on why I couldn't get that one right.

:-D

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

AG. I hate that word so much. *weep*

I only intentionally misspell when I use 'liek whoa' and 'unpossible', which is more impossible than impossible.

:D worrdly? or worldy?

[dkmnow.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm sorry. I tried two alternate spellings, and even tried to make them comical.

I don't know what to say. I guess all I can do is not say "magammamomanamous."

Oops. Sorry.

;-p

Oh, "worldly," as in "of the world," or the sophistication that comes of the experience of being well-travelled. Or something.

Pretty 'unprobable' in my case - thus, the "thin pretense," as I put it.

:-D

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

AG. I DIE NOW.

*does so. quite dramatically*

:D
