I don't believe anyone started pointing fingers at particular people during the post game discussion. No one blamed Form speciffically for the loss, though some comments were made about him not helping himself very much.

I believe the village as a whole was accused of not playing well. To be certain, quiet players, though they bug me, aren't a huge problem normally. And I do respect the tactic if it can be pulled off well by a wolf. (I hold great respect for Naria's abilties, for example.) The problem that was expressed in this particular village was that everyone was quiet, not just the usually quiet people. This fact was expounded upon seperately by several different people. Most them only made a statement once before the other players started taking offense. Naturally, this caused backlash in the people trying to find a solution, and before long all sorts of insults were being thrown about, most of them actually coming from the other villagers, not the ones who supposedly started the whole thing.

It's quite simple really. Those people who keep saying that it's just a game and we shouldn't take it so seriously are the first ones to take comments out of hand and get insulted. If you really don't take it so seriously, then why get so offended?

How is a comment that, "The whole village was too quiet and we lost the game because of it," trying to dictate what people can and cannot do in a game when, "You're opinions are rude and you can't say them," isn't?
