Okay, first of all, I'm retracting my apology for not responding to this sooner. Not because of what you said, mind, but because it was said at insane o'clock and thus something I missed until now.
And to answer your question honestly, I don't know why I phrased it like that. I had of course meant that I would be advocating his lynch, and I'm guessing I used the singular because I would then gloat if he turned out to be lying after all, but I don't know why I phrased my statement the way I did.
I will, however, ask you to stop saying that I "toyed with the role," when I've done nothing of the sort. Thinking about it, yes, but not toying with it.
Or, as they say in Limerick....
Though I know my word choice was strange
You inquired past my hourly range
So now I've replied
Your suspicions belied
I'd thank you for a tonal change
