@Tandy I shall be really busy until the end of memorial day weekend, as it is also my birthday weekend :D
I won't call V'la until friday though.
At JTB. She hasn't really responded to my reaction, so I dont know if she is actually. I put my vote on her to get her to talk, she hasnt seemed to have any reaction to my reaction post to her... so meh. Null at the moment, though I'm not sure who else is better at the moment.
I hate/suck at playing catchup, so I'm not going to comb the thread before I start playing.Um, what? What post were you trying to get a reaction from?

It's reaching and its scummy but its not a very strong indicator. I do it myself from time to time to make an argument sound more convincing. No doubt I could be accused of being scummy for doing the exact same thing and I'd agree with all those accusations. No doubt I've played scummy this game wrt to my J push. However, when I feel I've got scum I tend to do whatever it takes to convince others that I'm right and I have no problems with playing that way. Regardless, the "feeling pretty cozy on here" implies that I still thought he was scum, not that J's particular post was a scum-tell.Would you say that J doing this is a scum tell? If so, how?
Your last sentence "feeling pretty cozy here" implies that his response was scummy. I don't see how this is an indication of him being scum though. If it is, then you're practically agreeing that you are scummy for it as well. I don't believe you feel that you were being scummy, so for you to say that J is scummy for it is fake to me.
Is there scum motive in mis-representing someone's argument to undermine the credibility of their attacker? I'd definitely say so. If J can overemphasize his argument that my points are reaching and that my posts lack caliber, he doesn't need to get his hands dirty with the actual content.You don't see town motive, but do you see scum motive? This is why I believe these posts are fake. You're calling him scum because of his reponses, but there is nothing about his responses that indicate scum motive. You are simply saying "I don't see the town motive behind this". How would that make him scum? You don't mention at all during your back and forth how any of the things he is saying make him scum. That is what leads me to believe that you can't because they aren't indications of J being scum, thus you are being fake on your read.
Further developing one's read does not mean it has to change...what are you getting at here?The flip floppyness was just an example that indicated he was actually thinking about his read and your intent. The main point I am trying to get at here is that you do not do this. Your back and forth should have been a means to further develope your read, instead you use it as a case in itself on the already made assumption that J is scum.
I realize some people are gonna see that as a scummy move to cover my bases, but I want to make it clear that I'm not voting Kuz because I'm convinced he's scum. I'm voting Kuz because it looked like no one else was gonna take the vote to L-1.Though I don't like the claim line.
