38. I don't know if I feel sorry for him or not

we'll see when the case is made public. I was responding to your characterization of him being inexplicably "paranoid" and "suspicious". I believe these would be quite rational responses for someone in his position given the climate...in fact I think it would be irrational if he wasn't a bit fearful. It is interesting to see the level of fervor in these discussions against Zim yet very few admonitions of the threats on his life...almost a level of approval for vigilante (used correctly in this context) threats.
