I do object to portions of private chat logs being used as evidence in any way, without BOTH OR ALL parties being consulted first, though.
I can actually understand that. I knew it was iffy when I started, and had the potential to cause harm to her. In cases where people are advised to break confidence, like confession of suicide plans, or child assault, of course the rationale is that more damage is caused by silence. (Incidentally, I won't break confidence over suicide, but that's a separate issue.) In this case, I saw first-hand the harm caused to Neuroman by silence, and had only guesses about what it might do to Lucifer to break privacy, so I decided it was a risk worth taking.
If I cared more about my online rep I probably would have hesitated, cause people now think I don't have integrity. But if I still cared about my online rep, I wouldn't have gone around talking about how manipulative I am either.
Convoluted, maybe, but it's what I thought.
It seems more as if you are trying to impress Lucifer with your deduction, than to pwn her, honestly. I can't imagine impressing her much as even being possible and I only just met her, too.
Interesting theory. Wrong, but interesting. I lost my respect for her a long time ago, so whether or not she's impressed doesn't matter. I did have a dozen interwoven motivations, though, more than it would be easy to explain here.
