« Last post by IAMTHESYSTEM on Today at 09:14:56 pm »Perhaps writing a character who's world view might be radically different to your own is a challenge. Pat Mills for all his faults strikes me as a writer who likes to challenge himself with different material. Bill Savage is different to Slaine, Nemesis, and Finn, as he was a human, had no super power or allegiance to Dark Gods but only the love of his country and a desire to free his land from Volgan aggressors. That set him apart for me with only Dan Dare being a similar character, but Dare had advanced science on his side. Bill had only his combat skills and shotgun to solve his problems, and the ordinary man against extraordinary odds will always provide real drama.

If no one knows about this conspiracy, but you do, and you came to reveal the conspiracy in the course of a police interview, how is that not your unearthing of a conspiracy?
If you are willfully refusing to accept the authority of the police, the court, the government and any legislation, and instead use foreign legal terms to frustrate the police and waste their time, then refuse to admit that you understand you are being charged and why, then that is by just about anyone's standards "being a bit of a dick".
You didn't outsmart these people. You didn't escape charge by refusing to believe they could charge you. They got sick of dealing with you, because taking you to court where you might have got a slap on the wrist for possession, wasn't worth their time.
