Clearly I should follow up on at least one aspect of that. Here’s why I’m still suspicious of brewha:

Reaching barely begins to describe it. Allow me to quote from the evergreen colour:

> A pregnant pause. After a bit, the corn parts, and what is left of MACEY is ejected. _ **It is a hand** _, clawed and still gripping a wicked curved dagger. It drops the dagger, and rises up onto its stump of a wrist. It begins making a variety of gestures, frantically. A girl steps forward.

(Incredulous bolding, italicising and underlining are mine) How you could think that I or anybody else was the disembodied hand is beyond me. This really smacks of someone trying to build bricks without straw.

> I don’t know why it bugs me, but it does. He said that he didn’t think Macey was scummy. Hawkeye called him out on it in post 294, but nothing became of it. No one voted for Amrussel based on Hawkeye’s post - no one really even acknowledged it. But then, Amrussel comes out, quotes his on Macey vote dissention, and explains it.

In the very post you direct people to, I quote not only myself but **two other people** who comment on how the **case against me is a strong one** , or on how I was **clearly arguing more forcefully than others**. It beggars belief that you can quote that post and then say “no-one ever really acknowledged [Hawkeye’s case against me].” \*Clearly \*people did. It’s right there.

This case smacks of you trying to build a case against me and using whatever comes to hand whether it makes sense or not. It’s either delayed action OMGUS or you’re trying hard to get me lynched but don’t have any real evidence.
