I kind of feel like Dsell is twisting what I say, and I don't have the argumentative skills to keep up. Let me explain my perspective.
When I said "the wagon was unwarranted", I was reading Dsell from the reference point of Galz' #454 (14 posts before mine), in which he points out that everyone in the game except for me and Dsell had either voted for Dsell or expressed willingness to vote for Dsell. So from my point of view, if Dsell's not scum then that includes the entire scum team.
My first response to Dsell is when I had been re-reading Insom, so my mind was on other things. Dsell basically said, "The wagon was just Masons+1", so I said "Oh ok, guess it wasn't much then". But then I was like, "Oh hang on, more people are voting/willing to vote for him than that". So I looked at Dsell's post in which he seems to be focussing on the word "early", so I thought "Oh he must think I'm talking about a minor wagon early on instead of the main wagon". That's what I thought he meant. I wasn't actually talking about any particular vote count, I was talking about the fact that everyone else in the game has said they'll vote for him. I didn't at this point go back and check the actual wagons, because I thought this was just him misunderstanding what I meant, and so just a distraction from my Insom-reading.
I realise I made the mistake of not checking things before I responded to Dsell. But I really think he just saw something he could work with and is now trying really hard to get the focus off of him.
