To normalize a set of reads (or a stance) would just be to grant that it is legitimate and has merit.
Merit is that it's not complete bullshit and is worth discussing.
Legitimacy is that it is meant to solve the game and not sow dissent.
It seems to me that reads either have merit or they don't, regardless of if the person tries to push merit on them or not. Is this correct?
You seem to be very close with Cabd as a person and your defense of him mostly consists of "it's just his playstyle" when I feel like the case against him goes beyond that
Yeah Cabd's a friend in real life, but that's not the issue. How is it any different than the reasoning you used to defend Diamond Sentinel earlier? When you know someone is getting attacked for their play style and not for something actually scummy don't you point it out?
What points of Diamond Sentinel's are not just play style or personality? And what part isn't weird narrative building?
(Note: I don't have a developed town read on Cabd, nor do I really have a scum read on Diamond Sentinel.)

I'd maybe debate this but just from an impartial eye I'd say you're right
btw something about the interactions between cabd, ffery, and bell is concerning. It feels like a cold war Mexican standoff. I don't think it's entirely scum theater though, based on the specific vibes I get
We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

My main point of defense on DS earlier was that he was trying to make the game serious while people were still having fun nostalgia-ing and people were using that to attack him. Not his playstyle although that was a part.
I have not dug into DS's case but I think his point that Cabd is looking for approval and validation holds water. What would you call weird narrative building?

Oh, and Tammy should get some of the pressure pie. Kinda forgot about that read, but there isn't much to make me feel any better.
what makes a person deserving of pressure, in your opinion?:

Surface-level whatever I can see how you'd see that.
I didn't read your whole ISO buddy, just saw what you were doing on the page and responded to it. 3 townreads, 30 townreads, ain't much difference to me when its surface level buddying.

this mindset seems valid. It's not a towntell, though.

More or less. Merit is a more objective measure of a read, but its recognition is subjective. People often won't realize that a person's reads have merit because of the fog and friction of the game.
“Why was I chosen?'
'Such questions cannot be answered,' said Gandalf. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”
