OT: watchmen on trial

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Actually, even the ending is ambiguous.

It appears, in the final panel, that Rorschach's diary - which will expose
Veidt's manipulations - is about to be published.

You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
