None of those posts you brought up make any sense wrt your argument.

None of these seemed real to me. You're not looking for scum tells, but instead just turning what J points at you back at him. You're also not even considering anything J says from the town perspective.

J said:
From her one line you tried to contort it to make it look bad of her to say something. I didn't like it. You were looking for something in that post to call out as scummy.
I was curious about the intent behind the post and I was satisfied with her answer. I wasn't contorting what she said in the slightest. The bolded is an attempt to phrase it in such a way to make my questioning look malicious. Reaching.
Feeling pretty cozy on here.
J does the same thing you are accusing me of. Tandora makes a questionable comment and I ask her about it. J calls that move "looking for something in that post to call out as scummy" instead of scumhunting. They are two sides to the same coin and when J assumed and stated the former as a way to attack me I called him out on it. How does that not seem
real to you?

#64 in a nut-shell.
Cute.
Feel free not to even address it and dismiss it all with 5 words (which are all false).
More J votes.
We already went over this in thread but I brought up some points against him in the beginning of 64
You're the one who is reaching now, not me. I honestly don't see where you are coming up with me trying to discredit you. I am not belittling you or your playstyle to refute your points, I am just refuting them. I never said that your earlier post this game was a scum-tell, it just reminded me of scumJ meta. Gheb told me I was reaching with the point, and I found the quote from your other game that it reminded me of. Anyone with half a brain would have recognized that it was certainly a weak argument and more an observation than anything else, hence why I didn't use it as a basis for a push. I also don't see how me highlighting that specific part of the quote was an attempt to intimidate you.
and he dismissed them with 5 words. If he's not going to respond to stuff I bring up am I just supposed to let it go? What town motive could he have to summarily dismiss my points other than to be haughty? Don't see how you think these post are fake.

J said:
Why do you have to ask for votes? If people agree with you, they will vote me in due time. Lol.
And nah, I adressed your #64 adequately. It was a good response to the caliber of that post. ^.^
Did that question end with a question mark? It did not.
Who's trying to belittle their opponent now? Summarily dismiss its caliber but don't actually refute it. Way to go.
PS: You're not making me mad btw.
J claims he addressed my 64 while in reality all he did was list five words and then claim that the caliber of the post was below his standards. It's the exact same thing he claimed I was doing earlier, attacking his credibility. Again, don't see the townie intent here other than just to be arrogant.
Zen said:
Every single thing he posts, you call out as being a part of his scumminess.
Nope. I just call it how I see it. If I see something questionable, I'll be sure as hell to let everyone know about it.
Zen said:
It's also like you're trying to put on a show, ie convince everyone else. Your #73 is very good example of this. You're attempting to deflect everything he says onto him.
73 is a terrible example of this. Instead of responding to the top of my 64, J tries to make the argument that the caliber of the post was insufficient, hence deflecting what I said to him back at me.
Zen said:
During this whole argument, you constantly accuse J of being scum, but you don't make a single case on him. Your original read supposedly came from your meta on J, but you haven't shown how any of what he has posted matches up to his scum play.
You honestly think that my entire argument is based off of scumJ meta? The thing that got me on the wagon wasn't even scumJ meta. The only time I even went there was the first post that glyph brought up, and I didn't even push him for it as it was just meta. J has been playing scummy for a whole arsenal of different reasons, which I've already detailed throughout the thread. Whether it matches up perfectly with his scum meta is irrelevant.
Zen said:
You seem so convinced that J is scum yet you're putting so much time into the little back and forths like you have to some how prove everything he says is a scum statement.
Repetition of what you said before. I have not called everything he has done a scum statement and saying so is blatantly false.
Zen said:
J had at least shown that he was actually thinking about your alignment. This is shown from his flip-floppyness.
I understand where you're coming from with this one, as I myself have flipped reads before. The thing that I didn't like about this instance, however, is that he went from a "live till lylo" stance to a "he's scum and should die first" stance all during the course of my V/LA where I had not posted
once. That didn't look like him re-evaluating his read but more like him banking off the opinions of other players (you) who expressed they had a similar read.
Zen said:
You simply claimed him to be scum and began to argue. You had already shown a set belief in J being scum by post #74. This is shown by the fact that you were "pseudo-clearing" Glyph by the sole fact that he had a scum read on J.
If by "set belief" you mean scum read, then yes I did. The read was certainly not set in stone, but nothing J produced afterward during our back and forth convinced me otherwise. Again, I had no problem stating why I thought Glyph was town at that instance and I have since explained why that read has changed (and why my one on J hasn't).
