I'd like to address the concerns raised by Tim Drake in his most recent post. Namely, that I used torture on David as punishment for when he kidnapped and impersonated me for a week. I didn't.

David was not harmed or mistreated, and that can be corroborated by both another warden and another inmate. I was teaching him a lesson about the misuse of his powers; he's been unethical with them in the past. The only way to get through to him was to use a punishment that would stick. I saw no viable alternative, and if one had been available I would have used it.

And I was angry. I'm no saint, but saintliness is not in the job description.

The punishment was harsh; so was what he did. I underestimated how much it would affect him, but I will not apologize for doing my job.

Lynch me for that if you want.

He had to know I was serious.

I believe forcing him to stay as someone or something else would be equally serious and considerably less damaging, based on what you and Mr. Drake have said.

The only other manageable form for him that I know of would have been a bug. And as for "someone", I'm not letting him morph another sentient being under any circumstances.

Better than the rat, perhaps.
