Here's the thing about Grim's "I kept a diary therefore I'm town" argument - the only downside to him doing that as scum is more work. There's no mechanism for verifying his QT, and no downside to him redacting or editing later to avoid any scumslips he might have made contemporaneously.
Meanwhile, he STILL hasn't explained why he didn't revote NS in 1146. Seriously, look at grim and NS's posts together. NS posts NOTHING after Grim says "I believe sticking with NS for now is better." but Grim seemingly forgets all about pressuring NS/lynching the lurker until his final L-1 vote when NS was the only option.
To further build upon this case, let's look at how Grim has explained this behavior:

NS was indeed a null-read. I really don't see how this comes as a surprise, given he had only posted 11 times.
But I digress.
So NS was null. Yes, I thought I saw some townishness in his last post, where he said he really had no idea who to call scum anymore and how he was at a complete loss. To me this sounded honest. It gave him townpoints. It didn't make him town. One post like that obviously does not make you town.
I also never called him scum. When removing my vote from Wisdom I said this, in
1239:
I'd feel bad about letting you slide once again in case you do end up being scum, but I'd feel worse
if
you're actual town having put a lot of effort in this game and letting Nobody Special being lurksack lazy scum with 11 posts live on. Somehow doesn't seem fair
Notice the word in bold.
This choice for moving my vote was me simply being pragmatic about things.
Both were equally possibly scum in my eyes at that point, but given Wisdom's activity you'd know there will be further chances to read him and catch him.
Like many correctly said, what Nobody Secpail had given us at that point, was probably all that he was going to give us even if we had kept him alive.
But this is inconsistent with
which comes AFTER NS's last post and doesn't match Grim's QT thoughts posted in
2381.
Later he describes NS as:

Nobody Special was a nullread, a complete shot in the dark. His inactivity killed him as far as I'm concerned, but when lynching an inactive I think it's fairly natural to alrzady look ahead towards more rewarding lynches for reasons that are more pinpointable.
Which is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't match his earlier post saying that some of NS's behavior was townie. And it doesn't explain why he took the pressure off NS without revoting him.
And that is how grim rebunked this case "500 times already". Grim knows he's caught, and he's trying to deflect by saying it's an old case, by complaining about the way I'm making the case, by doing everything but explain why his behavior exactly matches a distancing scum who's afraid to bus until the outcome is inevitable.
Let's not forget that grim and NS pushed the SC wagon over the top when grim was the closest alternative, and that grim insisted on the Amrun lynch, which although a sensible choice, allowed enomis to escape further pressure. (Though remind me not to forget AP's hammers on NS and Amrun, AP's reaction to the reaction test feels less obv-town the more I re-read, and I get the feeling that he's buddying in a way that bothers me given his meta. And considering that Majiffy-molly is a plausible combination, this Elyse wagon really stinks.)
That wind is me and you can find my CASE and POINTS on Enomis scattered around my ISO. In case you want to actually address the Enomis pressure formally instead of beating around the bush.
