Log 008: Summary Conviction
Branding fans "Toxic" skips the "trial" to reach a verdict. It ends discourse before it begins.

"With the first link, the chain is forged.
The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all, irrevocably."
We must resist the verdict to save the trial.
