I understand that I don't have the touchstones (in this world) to recognise or respond to potential threats in the way that some of the residents of this tower -- particularly if these residents have 'super powers' and are accustomed to battling overblown rhetoric and violent imagery with any regularity -- but I do know a terrorist when I see one. I do understand what it means to be a connoisseur of fear and to have such self-aggrandised delusions regarding oneself that they overtake all of the airwaves ...

But -- hear me out, here.

There is a point. As much as I rail against being called a lamb, there is a purpose to making this society think on its sins. I would hazard to say that this person will get there eventually. I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Still and yet. We've every reason to listen.

Perhaps.

	I don't know -- we didn't have a lot of cyber-terrorists in my day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are always people who want something and use fear to get it - whether they demand it on the other side of a knife or a television screen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Or a paint brush~~ Knives are more dangerous. At least you can't occidentally stab ~~your friend~~ someone to death from the other side of a screen. But this -- the message, it's almost too convoluted to be a... step in a scheme, you understand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That does confuse me. No demands or threats, but his final statement leads me to think there must be soon - or else perhaps he truly does wish to make a political statement and nothing more. I could hope for something that benign. (Reply to this) (Parent)
