This is a blatant misrepresentation of my posting record. I had several posts on other topics, including dakky's choice to instantly go after jfm, and I criticized several other people for the jfm wagon as well, including yourself. (Who, I'll note, gave "one of the clearest possible indications that somebody is scum" according to you, and who you have nevertheless just unvoted.) It's true that I didn't accuse people other than chapcrap and Ragian of being scummy, but to imply that chapcrap is the only substantial thing I've talked about is false.
I was pointing out that chapcrap is the only person you've explicitly stated was acting scummy the entire game, save perhaps for your arguing with Ragian, but with that being largely over semantics I feel it's fair to disregard it as quibbling. I also did not say that you didn't "
go after" anybody else, but you've frequently relied on
implicit rhetorical devices, rather than actually stating that you find something scummy. This is especially pertinent when it turns out that none of those you
went after even appear in the post where you state who you would be willing to lynch on the jfm10 bandwagon, which brings me onto the next part:

A post cannot be both "out of the blue" and "prompted." These words are intentionally twisted so as to make me look bad, even though they make no sense together.
Yes, it can, and was. Context and content are distinct; contextually your post was prompted by BuJaber, but the contents of the post have no through line from any of your other posts. You previously mention Skoffin only
here and you had not mentioned pershy at all prior to this.

I've stated.
I find it interesting that you comment on how I've been narrowly focused, while neglecting to point out that chap has also not really made any substantial cases against anyone other than me (and even that one was flimsy, as you noted). He expressed skepticism of jfm (like everyone else in the game) and called out pershy for his weird vote (like everyone else in the game). That's... about it.
However, I also realise that while Metsfanmax's constant attacks have pushed chapcrap into having to defend almost every point they make, despite this chapcrap has made an effort to discuss other things happening in the thread, and it's giving me a bit of a town feeling towards chapcrap. Earlier in the game, I held a similar feeling with regards to Metsfanmax, but the way they've focused against chapcrap in the meantime has caused me to doubt this,
especially after the
response we got to BuJaber's question.
So I chose to discuss something other than chapcrap, and the result is you being even more convinced that the only thing I have to talk about is chapcrap?
The difference is that chapcrap made these points freely despite being under constant attack, while to get anything out of you that isn't against chapcrap somebody had to specifically ask for it, and once they did we find out that those you have been implicitly suspicious of are evidently not those you actually suspect the most.

I've run out of time writing what I have already, but I'll make another post about dakky21 and possibly some other stuff later today.
