[Several drops of ink appear on the paper before Huo finally gets to writing - he's hesitating a great deal. His script, too, is slow and cautious.]

While I do not wish to associate myself with anonymous writers of dubious origins, [another long pause, another ink drop] if searchers are currently creating some effect that they are unaware of

[His pen lingers here, and lingers, until finally with a dash of ink, he erases the previous sentence and quickly scribbles something else:]

You are not free of a prison if its roof falls down on your head.

I advise that you consider the true target of your anger.

In that regard, I have no doubts.

But I have no time for those who choose to be complicit in a crime by their inaction.

It is a strange trial which gui-Justice seems to envision, in which he has already cast blame and has no time to hear any dissenting version.

Nice try, but he's actually more well adjusted in ES in some respects... for now.

There is no trial without a suspect, and no judgement without evidence.

It is though evidence that we will find the truth.

Still working on it...~

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Undoubtedly. And we cannot ignore evidence, regardless of how much their implications disagree with us.

Good luck. There's a possible Von Karma apping, that might do it XD

To advocate the use of evidence while discouraging others from seeking it is either a contradiction, or a poor attempt at intimidation.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

A suggestion of caution is not a discouragement, unless in the mind of one who seeks confrontation.

And I may also note, gui-Justice, that if in the midst of the search, one loses sight of the effects of the search itself, then one should perhaps examine one's methods.
