My point is that they're about the same person. He isn't saying that their meta
case
is bad, as in scummy. He's saying that their
read
is bad, as in incompetent. He's saying that because they have been wrong so far in this game, their opinion on his alignment isn't worth listening to, because they have not been successful at hunting scum. That's not an argument for why they're scum. That's an argument for them being town who is wrong, and an argument for why others who are townreading them (since most of the game is) shouldn't listen to them. Then, at the same time, he's saying that he thinks that they're scum. It's not a consistent perspective on their alignment.
