Which posts specifically?
Well, in retrospect, I really dislike the way he talked about Bogre yesterday. In his first analysis post, my impression was that he thought Bogre was dumb town, with comments like this:

The good news: I agree. The bad news: If he's not scum that means his death equals two town deaths.

@Bogre: (regarding post 99) Yes. Your play (if you are town) has created a lot of focus on you, distracting attention away from others and is therefore anti-town.
THen, after that post, he just keeps saying he thinks Bogre is scum, but never gives a reason for it:

Concerning Bogre, see my scumlist. (Hint: he's number 2.)
And then, after all that, his analysis of the Bogre wagon the next day really sounded scummy to me. He attacks everyone who supported the Bogre wagon (first attacking you for starting it, then attacking everyone else as "the dirty followers".
He really seems to be worried about you being accepted as town, Xyl, and seems to be doing his best to undermine that without taking you on directly.
I also got kind of wierded out by his reaction to you defending me.

@Xylthixlm: I understand that you feel that Yosarian2 is town here, but defending him doesn't help him look any better nor me to develop my read.
I mean, huh? If player A defends player B, and especally considering he seemed to be suspicious of both me and you, why wouldn't that help develop his reads on both players? If I'm attacking someone, and someone else comes to their defense, you get just a ton of information from it. He should be prodding you to find out more about what you think, not trying to shut you up here. The only reason I can think of why he wouldn't want me to defend you is if he's trying to avoid getting in a fight with you, because most people believe you are pro-town, and most people seem to be listening to you.
I don't have a problem with his Sarag scumtell; I'm not sure it's as strong as he seems to think it is, but it may be. But his play otherwise, the way he's been making cases, and his posting in general just seems like scum play to me. It's am impression I get whenever I read through his posts in isolation or in context.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
