For those that aren't on board and/or maybe just don't understand why AngryPidgeon is scum, it's because of his Day 2 behavior and arguments.
This is his initial reaction when he realizes that Tammy is a Serial Killer:

and:

So doing something other than letter her shot be directed means she loses. Shes basically a dayvig right now. I get that you had to claim to out her, but that is a sunk cost. I think she is an asset right now.
I don't care if her shots are good. I care that she not be the one picking the shot.
So keep in mind that AngryPidgeon
absolutely
understands the arguments of both sides and potential strategies for dealing with an outed Serial Killer.
AngryPidgeon first votes for Tammy, stating that he was following the cop.
Then he tries to push a Kise wagon as a counter to a pigdey counter-wagon, then he moves his vote back to Tammy, saying:
In post 1568, AngryPidgeon wrote:Fine. I'm sold on the logic that it IS a high-risk/reward scenario (proof: Mastin is right that she provides a 2nd lynch, Ben is right that she isn't exactly trustworthy) that we dont necessarily need given that we are in a good situation. And I do not see why scum would kill her because the same logic applies: "Why NK her when the town will lynch her? Why lynch her when the scum team will NK her? Why ..." And if she was shot at last night, then she IS BP.
Note that none of that makes any sense. Benmage was only arguing that the risk was high to himself because he feared he might get shot the next day (which is still a horrible argument considering that Tammy had plenty of time to kill him after he claimed). So the "high-risk" was to one person that already wasn't killed and the high-reward is still high-reward.
So he starts becoming the most vocal supporter of the Tammy wagon, next to Benmage. Now Benmage is dead and flipped town cop. Now we know that it's entire possible for town to have an unwavering view of what needs to be done. But check Benmage's ISO. He never wavered. He grasped at unlikely straw after unlikely straw and didn't give a shit about counter-arguments. Arguments that Tammy must be bulletproof, or a part of a day-killing scum team, or uncontrollable were bad, sometimes to the point of retarded. But I never doubted that Benmage sincerely believed them.
AngryPidgeon is different. Read the first quote again. He fully understands the logic that scum gains by directing the town to lynch it's enemy. But then he fully rejects that theory to the point where he argues that mastin and I are not only stupid, but scummy for suggesting it. He fully understands that Tammy is in the position she HAS TO kill the town's pick or get lynched herself and then rejects it. Then does everything he can to push the theory that Tammy is too dangerous to let live. So AngryPidgeon's "hardcore non-comprimising" views mirror Benmage's and are demonstratively not his own.
Though, and this is still very notable, he only echoes Benmage's positions when Acosmist is the counter-wagon. When it breaks up and different people are being pushed as substitutes, then AngryPidgeon is happy to move his vote to WrathChild (also flipped town) before going back to Tammy.
So why would someone who repeatedly stated that arguing against a Tammy lynch is a waste of time and pages and that town is being derpy, then jump off to vote WrathChild? (Note that at the time his switched his vote to WrathChild, he was also calling mykonian scum for jumping off the Tammy wagon -
Post 2162).
Why would someone pretend to not understand counter-arguments to a scum-benefiting plan when they do?
AngryPidgeon is scum.
