I like your first post Nab. But I don't see this. But I can't really argue against it. I'll keep this in mind.
You like my first post because I'm charming and know how to string together a sentence. Now please engage with my arguments. This goes for everybody.
Do you understand why I'm voting for Shotgun? Why are you unconvinced? I'll admit that I only sketched my case. Here's some more detail on what I meant by the list in parentheses:
-"scumslip": Shotgun's first serious vote is on Trollie (130) for raising the possibility of Scum PRs, and it's of the standard "OMG, you're scummy for making a reasonable conjecture about the scum setup" form. Lazy. Also, he takes the vote off once it's clear that wagon isn't gaining any steam.
-newbcard: Shotgun uses this term in 178, and while it's totally true that Mala
was
playing the newbcard, voting just on that basis is another lazy/scummy move. The newbcard is a poor excuse for scummy behavior, but it's not scummy in and of itself. When Shotgun points to "newbcard" but doesn't say anything about how or why Mala has been acting scummy, that's scumhunting by rote.
-true newbie: This refers to Shotgun's total wagon vote on Defender (283). Let's face it, Defender is (was?) a newbie. He's mainly caught shit for posting too little and too narrowly. It's easy to join a wagon without much explanation when there's very little to explain.
This is not to say that Trollie/Mala/Defender definitely aren't scum, but their wagons have all of the characteristics that appeal to D1 scum. They're relatively simple, unobjectionable, and aren't likely to generate a lot of discussion even in the event they get taken to lynch.
