I have a hypothetical question.

If someone does something that isn't terrible but is widely considered wrong, will it hurt or benefit that person if they confess? Furthermore, are there cases in which breaking the rules is permissible?

Ah, yes. A compelling story about a lunatic who commits a crime of passion and is slowly driven mad by guilt in the aftermath.

Poe's version is still better.

Your nose isn't broken, is it?

Text | Private chessmastering August 27 2010, 02:32:59 UTC

Does it matter?

Text | Private absinthe_eyed August 27 2010, 02:39:33 UTC

Yes.

Interesting. It didn't yesterday.

Text | Private absinthe_eyed August 27 2010, 03:50:10 UTC

It matters today.

Text | Private chessmastering August 27 2010, 03:51:56 UTC

Because today you've suddenly remembered that actions have consequences, and you're waiting for the axe to fall.

Text | Private absinthe_eyed August 27 2010, 03:53:58 UTC

I didn't conveniently forget that actions have consequences yesterday.

Marvellous. Then you've already accepted whatever fate may befall you.

[Oh shi--]

...Who did you tell?

Text | Private chessmastering August 27 2010, 04:16:58 UTC

I'm surprised you haven't yet asked why I didn't retaliate.

Text | Private absinthe_eyed August 27 2010, 04:31:48 UTC

I assume you'll retaliate on your terms and at your chosen time.

Text | Private chessmastering August 27 2010, 04:32:49 UTC

You assume a lot about me.

Text | Private absinthe_eyed August 27 2010, 04:36:31 UTC

Just your actions and motivations.

Text | Private chessmastering August 27 2010, 04:52:31 UTC

And yet, conveniently enough, those actions and motivations always seem to revolve around the assumption that I actually care about you. You validate your existence by assuming that I have it out for you and everything I do is painstakingly calculated to make you miserable because you can't stand to acknowledge just how insignificant you really are. You victimize yourself and delude yourself into thinking it is some vendetta I hold against you, twisting your interpretations of my actions in a pathetic attempt at justification.

Even now, you're passing your own reckless actions off as a hypothetical question to others, desperate for a pat on the head and a reassurance that you were justified in assaulting me over a meaningless game, looking for affirmation that I somehow provoked you into it, when in fact you are merely a sore loser with anger issues and a complete lack of self-control. If our situations were reversed, I have no doubt that you would be ecstatic at the prospect of running to the authorities to ensure that I got every ( ... )

[Thank you for laying that all out, Rudy. It's self-loathing time. ...Which means Rudy's right.]
