I think that while Shteven might have overanalysed the bump post a bit, I agree with the sentiment of the post, and that Sammich should scumhunt more, and form some opinions. Though to be fair to him, there wasn't too many posts between his bump post and the one before that.
What I find very interesting however is why neither of these posts were analysed more:

Bump.
Oman's was nearly exactly the same as Sammich's, and Tyler's said he had nothing to contribute, despite Shteven's post on bumping just above potentially providing something to comment on. I get the feeling that Sammich's post was picked on and those two ignored because Sammich has the bandwagon on him, which is something the town shouldn't do, otherwise it may be very difficult for the person who's at the centre of the bandwagon to get out of it, scum or not, because the town is focusing entirely on them, and ignoring other players.
I don't think LaptopGun is too scummy, and the fact he's not posting too many of his own opinions is more of a playstyle thing. But I do advise him to try and post more opinions. Don't be afraid of being wrong.

Really? This is the fifth one i'm seeing in 3 games ..
Well the game is stagnating a bit and Sammich isn't helping the discussion or being productive - I'm ok with lynching him to move the game along ..
Vote : Sammich
Lynching to move the game along = Classic scum excuse to wagon.

also, I have seen and provided quite a few bumps..not a big deal, is somebody making it a big deal?
I'm not really buying your reasoning against Shteven, I felt his reasons for voting Sammich were decent, and certainly not opportunistic. Nor do I think him pointing out lurkers is deflecting, and that point seems to revolve around Sammich being scum with him, so I take it you find Sammich scummy as well. I think making points against players based on the alignment of others before that alignment is proven is less than convincing. Though I do agree with your latest point against him, where he contradicted himself.
