Alright, so I reread the Spiritbears/Twistedarcher debacle, and I think that is the only reread I'm going to get in tonight. I need an early bedtime... anyways on to what I think
Overall, I think spiritbears comes out of this looking pretty scummy to me. Yes I know, earlier I said that reactionary spiritbears is town spiritbears, at least from my one experience with him. But this felt different. Twistedarcher's case is that he finds it odd that SB votes shraeye with very little evidence and believes EFHW. Also, spiritbears keeps his vote on ash even after ash has said his raerae vote was for reactions. SB even gets upset that people aren't looking at ash. This is the case that TA presents.
Spiritbears' response (paraphrasing from notes I made during my reread):
- you have a bunch of fluffed up nothing making me look scummy
- TA thinks SB is scummy because his reads are different from his own.
- I don't need to explain, it's all there
I don't understand the stubbornness. Just answer the question. If he had a legitimate scumread on shraeye, he could easily have reproduced the case/his thought process on his vote. Or he could just say "He feels scummier to me". Which to me, would be a perfectly valid argument D1. Weak, but considering he thought shraeye's case was weak, I would think he had more. TA remains calm throughout this whole case, while spiritbears thinks he is attacking him personally. This just wasn't what TA was doing.
With SB avoiding the question, never really giving a satisfactory answer and being uncooperative I see him as pretty scummy coming out of this.
I can't put a vote down yet because I still have a couple of pages to get through, but I will hopefully get that done tomorrow night. Sorry this is taking so long.
Reminder: I'll be V/LA until next Saturday. I'll make a post in the V/LA thread.
