It is interesting how there seems to be a collective meme around that I "jumped" on
Shasta when what I asked from him was:

Maybe I have a different idea of what "jumping on someone" means, or something?
Oh, I had to check how that developed:
Greenie said I was "unreasonable" and "jumpy", then
Pom agreed (!?) with
Greenie about me jumping on
Shasta and next
Nerwen says that I "
did jump on
Shasta - no question", and wondered aloud why I might have done it...
And all that because I asked
Shasta why did he post the comment he posted, with a smiley, that is.
Okay two things on the issue: one general point, and another one as a way of explanation as you clerly haven't understood what I was after in there.
The general point: you can see how nicely suspicions or any kind of memes / talking points spread like wildfire even in a small village - and the connection between the original point ("I was jumpy") can turn totally around ("I jumped on someone") while everybody agrees on the meme itself.
What that in turn implies is either malice (wolves involved) or lazyness (one just parrots what one thought someone else said)... both ways produce loads of innocent lynches.
The explanation point: Now that was
Shasta's first post in the whole game, and what he said was sorry for sleeping D1 and then with a quote of what I had said earlier, that he had mentioned the same game-mechanics point in the discussion thread... Now I mean yes, you could make a post like that, sure, whatever your role is, but to me it looked a bit too much like concentrating more to his image in our eyes than trying to do something. And we know the wolves need to take care of that. And I think the smiley made me suspect that post more as it looked like a not genuine gaiety or lightheartedness but somewhat forced...
Well, that said. I was just asking why he posted that. I mean he could have posted something of some substance, any comment on the game, anything, something, but all he did was that. And of course I was hoping for a reaction from him. Sadly that has not come, at least yet.
Which all doesnt mean I think he is a wolf, or my top candidate for lycantrophy either. But when there are only little things going on one must try every possibility to see how people react and what they do when asked things.
