I see how it comes from a town mindset, but I also see how it could come from a scum mindset. I'm sure you can see both sides easily, and I'm sure you wouldn't mind firming up your read on ProHawk a little more. If you have a solid townread on him at the moment, then you're underestimating him quite a bit.
Maybe. If I am I think I'll figure it out.

I still don't understand how I was poisoning the well.
This is the post:

No diatribes on why everyone sheeping me is a bad idea and shows incredible scum motivation, no rage and anger on how you can't believe that the town is this lazy and horrible? And hell, even lacking that, no analysis and instead easy obvious scumreads? Come on, hawkie. You're a much better player than this.
This was like a one paragraph distillation of 2 pages or so worth of walling that you and I did in GiF's micro while you tried to sort me.
If you had hit me with a distillation like that you would have gotten back something very close to what ProHawk posted, laced with my own particular brand of snark.
We're different people, but I don't care who you're trying to sort, a paragraph as laden with that much "you suck so bad this time you have to be scum" is not going to go anywhere good. It can take me the better part of a gameday or more to recover from the kind of reaction that elicits and start acting like my alignment again.
I have no idea how to respond to this. I briefly considered squiggles, but then decided that wouldn't get us anywhere.

It's kinda of a piece with what I'm already yelling at you about. You could have left the comment at "Why?" rather than shutting off directions the answer could go and narrowing the focus like that.
It feels like tryhard scumhunting. :/
