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.

Alright, so I've pretty much heard this other guy's argument and while I'm not convinced that you tortured your Inmate, I do wanna hear your side of this.

I'm aware of the fact that apparently there some history with being a rat against his will, so what I wanna know is why you chose that "body" specifically.

I was attacked, kidnapped, and tortured for a week while he went around wearing my face and using my body. He had to be punished and Zero wasn't going to do a damn thing. He was held for half the time he held me and a fraction of the time he spent in that form before. He was treated humanely as a rat and was checked in on by others to make sure. I have done nothing but get his ass out of trouble since the end of his punishment. That's my side.

Partially because of the history. Partially because my other options were insect and rattlesnake. And I'd have to be an idiot to keep him around in a poisonous morph.
