And the fact that you thought it is what makes you scummy looking. Now you may claim its a misread of what Friend said, but the fact is YOU brought up that you hadn't been producing content, and then proceeded to fling the accusation at others in a game that was less than 48 hours old. Its called a guilty conscious. When my boss comes in and says "I need to talk to you about something" and I say "Ok, I know I took 15 extra minutes for lunch, but so did Steve, Mary, and Joe" it doesn't look good, regardless of whether my boss was coming in to talk about my lunch break or not.redtail896 wrote:Yes, you are.

Others have disagreed with me and not gotten FOSed. Nice try at painting my FOS as scummy though.You're case might not have been based on that, but I though that that was a valid concern, for reasons that I've already explained. And you didn't bother explaining your case until relatively recently. So how could I possibly know?LynchMePls wrote:Anyone who continues to claim that the case on Redtail is in any way based on him "not producing content" is either not paying attention, or is part of the problem.
What you need to understand is that regardless of whether it was a part of the case or not, you are the one who tried to fling mud at others to remove suspicion of yourself. You really don't see how the deflection was scummy? I can't see a town motivation for deflection. If you are town, and you're doing something scummy, then either change the behavior or accept that people are going to think you are scummy. But by saying "Well, those people over there are doing it too and they're even worse" it looks like you are desperate to have the attention anywhere but on you.What you need to understand is that regardless of what was meant, I thought that this was a key element of the case. I've explained why I thought that. Might I have been misreading people? Sure. Friend has already claimed that I misread him. But I don't think that it was an unreasonable conclusion to come to. Especially since for quite some time nobody bothered to explain why I was so scummy.
As for the deflection thing: I disagree that it's scummy. I thought I was being persecuted for X, and I pointed out that other people had also done X but even moreso, so my accusers were being inconsistent. That's it. That's the entire thing.
BTW: what do you think about my response to your actual case?
Your response to my case has done nothing to change my opinion.
