No, it's really not terrible. It's good because it puts more pressure on him to contribute, it brings his lack of contribution to light, and it shows how little of a footprint he's making on the game (i.e. good scum play).
And even if nothing else, that post shows that I have the ability to change my reads when I find out they're wrong, or at least misguided. Maybe you missed this part of that post:

A strange concoction of "too dumb to be scum" mixed with "this wagon is too easy" mixed with "there's not much we can get in terms of information based on his lynch" and then the cake-taker "too many scummy people voting him for crap reasons."
He's done plenty of things that are scummy, no doubt there. But Vi's push on him is weird and I'm undecided about some of the things he's done in terms of the motivations behind them. It's more of a vague "well what if he's town? that'd be a wasted lynch and we'd be nowhere still because otherwise he totally deserved it and everyone has a good excuse for being on his wagon so we'd learn basically nothing" kind of feeling.
I get bad feelings from how he tries to throw his weight around when questioned, and then disappears when not.

this, untill the 'even so', gives me town vibes. However, that last sentence - it is bad. it's like you are trying to get the cop in this game, if such exists, to investigate someone. this definitely could come from a scum PoV - you're trying to get the cop to investigate someone who is not in your scumteam.
so the second part kinda stops my town vibes. I'll see the answers to the questions above and I'll decide. as you know so far you've been on my scum radar.
Ok I see you didn't miss that part. No, I'm not trying to direct the cop who to inspect, I'm saying that theoretically if I was a cop I'd inspect him. I inspect people that I can't get solid reads on, but are leaning scummy for things I can't put my finger on + I don't think I'll be able to convince people to lynch them. If that makes sense to you, great; if not, no biggie.
