unforeseen dangers

Okay, I get the emphasis thing but you seem to be using them a LOT, is all I'm saying. (See, I use anything I can come across - italics, change of font, e x t r a s p a c e s in between letters and words, capitals, asterisks, quotation marks, stuff like that. I was just asking.) Also about the reply button, there are unforeseen dangers in the cyberspace world, and who knows maybe using the reply button will allow strangers to hack into the computer?!?! I'm serious, I am a computer safety freak. The only thing I don't like about it is when it blocks perfectly safe websites. Also, it looks like you read the Young Wizards series from how you know about the Lone Power and stuff? Did you?
Also, I finally saw the small-print notice at the bottom of the page, and being a safety freak, I am now freaked out completely even though I have no idea what it means so I will leave it to my sister to find out and also to get the reply to this post because I am now subject to extreme danger

*sigh*
Using the reply button is the *exact* same function as leaving a comment. It does not, in any way, leave your computer in any more danger than leaving a comment does.
The note at the bottom of the page says that I'm logging your IP address because I'm tired of people who can't be bothered to identify themselves with so much as a handle posting anonymous questions. You want to talk to me, give me some way to know you're the same person I talked to earlier. My omniscience doesn't extend to universes where I'm a fictional character. All the IP address logging does is to tell me if the same anonymouse posts more than once.
*And*, *if* you *insist* on *filling* my journal with *exclamation* points, *I* will have to *retaliate* with as many *asterisks* as I can *reasonably* put in *my* reply.
Prosecute an innocent person. Definitely. I tend to treat everyone as guilty until proven innocent anyway, which is why I vastly prefer to prosecute than defend, if given the choice.
Of course, ideally I'd rather not prosecute the innocent, but sometimes the best way to ensure that the innocent get to clear their name is to prosecute them. Once the accusation is out there, it has to be refuted by an acquittal, or there will always be an element of uncertainty as to their innocence. Whereas I honestly can't see any point to defending a guilty person at all. (Well, unless the guilty person is *me*... but even then, I never make the argument that I didn't do what I did, just that doing it wasn't really wrong.)
