Thing is, you're associating coasting and lax posting as being synonymous; they are not. Mae's posting isn't coasting. Beyond feeling like it, you can tell. Coasting is doing half-assed scumhunting--just enough to be below the radar. Mae's not doing that, as evident by being at L-1.
Mae's posting distinctly is that of someone who doesn't give a damn. Now, admittedly, yes. It's possible that Mae's scum not giving a damn. (Possible, not probable.) But Mae sure as hell doesn't read that way to me.

Yes, it is; no, I can't. I've got 120+ games (hell, probably 130+ by now), and they're scattered throughout time and forum. There's a REASON I asked for help
updating my wiki; it's because I've played in so many games that I've lost track of them.
Plus, going into MD theory a bit, I adjust my play every single game, to the circumstances. Sometimes, I'll strongly use reasons and intuition. Other times, I'll use mainly gut and instinctive reactions to things. It all depends from game to game, off of the context behind it. And going into MD theory even further, the border between logic and gut is thinner than most people think; I see them as two different aspects of the same entity, rather than two separate entities. I'll see something tripping my gut and try to think of reasonable explanations, and I'll ALSO gather evidence, process it, analyze it (all logic), but ultimately form my conclusion off of what I feel. (Gut.)
But in GENERAL, as scum I use logic a lot more. The reason being that as scum, I know the picture of the game much better overall, and thus, know how to make arguments that are more coherent. As town, my thought process is generally scattered and lacks focus. But as scum, having a much more clearly-defined objective, I can make a much better stance on things. There's a reason I used to half-joke that logic was a scumtell for me.
And it's exactly that.
As town, I use gut a lot more. The reason largely being that my logic seems to lead me astray. I don't have that perfect process, so even if my train of thought is correct, I'll often come to the wrong conclusion if I'm working off of logic. Or something like that. I dunno, I guess it's just much easier for me to use gut as town than it is for me to use logic as town.
