He has a good point here. A corollary of “scum would never do that” being false is that it is possible for “opposite” behaviors to both be scummy. In the end, this means that discerning motivation is the important factor.
If I were still in the game, I’d be pushing to lynch the serial non-voters and the other non-contributors. I’m not doing careful reading at this point, but my impressions are: MHaye’s excuse of “I’ve always played this way” does not absolve him of its anti-Town slant. JSexton seems to be contributing little yet stirring up the pot with his few posts. Classic scum strategy. Nanook and Hal, I’d call pure lurkers. They need to start showing some active scum hunting or be up on the block.
The “confirmed” Townies need to be more active. And they need to decide among themselves who they’ll vote for as a block. Especially for the claimed Masons–I’m embarrassed. Once Masons have claimed, they need to vote together.
