If they are successful, they’ve got someone who feels they are “on their side”. If they aren’t, they can pat themselves on the back later on and tell everyone “I told you so!” I absolutely disagree with DiggitCamara. I don’t feel it is common at all – certainly not to the extent of any ‘neck sticking outing.’ Scum behave much more subtly. Astral is jumping up and down and calling out everyone. She is not making friends. She’s making enemies. If she turns up Scum, I’ll be super surprised. I’ve been lynched for ‘defending town’ before. It makes no sense. When cases are bad, you point it out! If lynch defenders becomes policy, then all meaningful talk will cease. Also, Diggit is assuming TexCat is Town. He shouldn’t know that! If TexCat were to turn up scum would he change his mind about Astral? I bet not. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mrs-hudsons-teatime-gathering-mafia-penut-gallery-no-spoilers/681219)._
