@Bogre: It's because you don't have a good stance to make me understand.
Either you believe in meta or you don't. If you don't, nothing that meta brings up should give town points (or at the very least less-scum points). Here's your original post:

I've been debating this for a bit: Syke's case was based on a lot of meta, but he seemed to fulfill that meta case to my thoughts that he was playing similarly to what he had done before, despite claims to the contrary. It's my opinion that it's escalation beyond the initial meta(which is meta and less worthwhile to begin with), without much reason.
Vote Docpotter
In the first paragraph, you attribute all of Doc's scumminess to coaching (which I've already explained why that doesn't make sense).
The second paragraph you go into why YOU DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR SYKE. It has everything to do with meta (which the case I've put against him wasn't about meta, but you've ignored the multiple times I've tried to bring that up) which you don't believe in. You believe that a meta defense for Syke makes him not scum. How does him defending himself through meta clear him if you don't believe in meta?
Hell with clearing him, how would that be more pro-town than some coaching explanation (that you've never explained or pointed to in Doc's posting) if you really don't believe in meta? If you really don't believe in meta, all Syke has been doing with his defense is obfuscating his real role here by bringing up other games rather than defending his own beliefs and thoughts in this thread? Why isn't white-walling the town with pulled up defenses from other games scummier than "coaching"?
Oh, and don't forget that you thought he was playing similarly to another game; which does imply that you look at meta a bit and do take that into consideration.
But no, you defend Syke through his bringing up a meta defense and refuse to look at the non-meta aspects of a case against him.
I'm pretty damn sure I'm not misrepresenting any of that, so go ahead and just get lynched.
I'm going on a crusade to put more thought into my posts.
No, my name is not "Ed."
