Well I'm sorry Kuru if it seems that way to you, but I guess I just lack your utter certainty about, and total faith in the validity of my conclusions.

Your own total certainty reveals you to be either a wolf or an incautious innocent

You misunderstand me. It is not at all that I am not aware that I might be wrong. (I obviously think that is unlikely...) However, such public displays of doubt serve little purpose and are a waste of time in my opinion. And what good does being a cautious innocent serve?

rather than stand around afterward, red in the face with embarassment, mumbling about how sure I was that I was correct

If that is going to happen it is going to happen. Mumbling about in red-faced embarassment beforehand is going to do little toward getting to that point.

Then again, if I am lynched, you will see that I am innocent.

Now I see you are trying to copy my method...

Other than that, it is purely quotes taken out of context (as mormegil notes) and conjecture.

Oh really? In what way were the quotes you made regarding Evisse taken out of context? I imagine you were not particularly happy to have the context of some of them be before I'd ever mentioned Evisse. In what way was your instant blaming of me and your playing up of my role in Evisse's death taken out of context? In what way did I take your 180 and your sudden desire to lynch Son of Numenor out of context?

I meant that you said practically nothing controversial until the discussion began to identify a single candidate for lynching (Evisse – by Shelob’s vote and my conjecture). You then concentrated your efforts on that candidate.
|
Well, you at least have things in the correct order here in that you were first on that road. Probably decided to do this since I'd called you on it so many times. However, I thought that identifying candidates was what we were here to do. Evisse acted a little strange in her replies to me and that was mainly what I spent my time responding to. You were the one in the background egging us on, pointing out some of the strange factors in her posts.

Finally, I am not at all sure what to make of these comments by Kuruharan:
Quote:
If it is "yes" then the translation of that post is that The Saucepan Man is not online right now or Shelob hasn't yet been able to clear her turning on him with him yet.
I have no idea what he meant by that but, whatever he did mean, it seems to be reading far too much into what was clearly a flippant comment.
|
You think that was strange, try this one. I think that you told your cronies to not vote against you because you think you can still save yourself. Now, I don't disagree with that reasoning so much because it is possible. However, I think that is going on here.

This issue is really down to a question of Saucepan or me.
A curious comment. I am not aware that anyone has given any indication of voting for Kuru today, so why would he say that?

Talk about taking things out of context. I think I deserve to be quoted in full.

Trust me. Forget the phantom. You can always hang him later. This issue is really down to a question of Saucepan or me. Just pick who you think is more trustworthy.
|
While I have no particular objection to being hung, the meaning of that post was if you thing Saucepan is more trustworthy vote for the phantom. If you think I am more trustworthy, vote for Saucepan. It was not an encouragement to vote for me, although I don't have a problem with that. My later comment was more of a joke, although I can see why it would cause confusion.
In spite of that, Saucepan why don't you go ahead and vote for me anyway.
