I cannot for the life of me understand the current suspicion towards SpM. I see nothing in him that makes me think he is a wolf. I think there is wolfish influence here and it makes me look at Glirdan, again, and Malka.
The votes don't seem to be explained sufficiently. In my opinion SpM seems sincere and genuine. I can sympathize with his frustration, for I have felt it too. I care not what this may do of people's opinion to me. I am defending somebody that I believe innocent.
Regarding Cailin I think I've put my finger on it. She's come forward with some decent ideas and seems to slowly be pulling here and pushing there. Slowly and quietly she is trying to influence us. Not as overtly as many think SpM is but more dangerously. She hasn't really committed herself to any one thing but seems to want to influence us and sow the seeds of confusion.
