Something like: "I couldn't bring myself to do that as it's against my moral sense, and I, as a result, think that nobody should be ABLE to get away with it. So I'm mad (...)

Though I suppose that, if I commit any of those acts, my pre-planning might incriminate (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
