Are you suggesting that we simply ignore reasoning all together? I will not follow an illogical suggestion.~Roa
I don't recall suggesting we should ignore reasoning. I find theories facts and reasoning to go hand-and-hand and should be used. If I misinterpretted what you said then that's my own mistake, but I read this:
Quote:
That said, we should be very careful concerning theories and reasoning, and look very closely for faulty logic or baseless assumptions, especially if someone keeps stating a theory as fact.
And to me it looked like you were comparing theories to "baseless assumptions." But, a theory isn't a theory without facts to support it. So, I was saying that theories aren't baseless because theories have facts to back it up (according to the true definition of a theory that is), and if it doesn't have facts then it's not a theory. Anyway point is, I thought there you were saying theories were baseless and we shouldn't use them. If that's not what you were saying then I stand corrected.

Two people say they find analyses boring/pointless, and then do fairly lengthy analyses themselves. Diamond, your last post, you go through everyone and basically say you think they are all innocent? What was the point?
Then there is Boromir. I mention him in my list of suspects, he retaliates by putting me at the head of his list, and seems to be quoting from two of my posts implying they are from the same post. He also seems to have read my initial post more carefully than he appears to have done...something I have seen werecreatures do before.
If you are here saying I am one of those two people you'll find you are greatly wrong. I never said, nor will I ever say that analysis is boring and pointless. I said for me I don't use "summaries" because I don't see why we hsould it's all right there. I'm perfectly fine with people using summaries, if that helps them sort out everything, but me personally I don't use them and I don't see a point in them. But I never said I was anti-analysis if that's what you are implying, that's actually all I really do.

If you call it retaliation then so be it, I can't change your opinion on that. But accusing me because I like to read through carefully? Sorry if I like to look at what people are posting. Perhaps you should read through more carefully instead of applying twisted logic to what I say.

No I read through your first post carefully the first time. Initially, your first post I found no concern over, even though you did suspect me. It was your post after when I went back and re-thought about your first post. Because in your second post you were just kind of snipping around saying some names of people you're suspicious of but without saying anything else. Just that phantom and I seem odd to you.

Even if that's what I was doing I fail to see what significance it would have. Seems to me Lalaith you're grasping at straws trying to dig your way out of a hole.

I know phantom's plan is to hint innocents, but I'm saying hinting a guilty can benefit too, incase the innocent's hint happens to be right.~Kitanna
It looked to me like you were saying you agreed with phantom's plan then talked about naming guiltys, but phantom's plan said we shouldn't name who we thought was guilty. So really you weren't agreeing with phantom's plan, because his plan was against that.
