"Hmm...uctriton can't be scum for being too scummy... *does research* Actually, after having done the research, he COULD be... You know what, screw it, he actually is scum." is much, much closer to the town train of thought I'd expect to see. Instead, we got,
"uctriton can't be scum for being too scummy...uct is scum!...errm, to explain, I did my research and found my first statement to be wrong."
Very weak case, and it seems like you are trying to twist the content of Radiant's words. This is how I saw it:
1st post)
"
Uct is too scummy to be scum, especially this early in the game
"
The game had just started, Uct had only posted like 1-2 posts and I think this is what Radiant meant when he said too scummy to be scum at the time.
2nd post)
"
What Uct wrote is still scummy, it's been a bit longer yet all his posts are scummy therefore I'm placing my vote on him.
"
Radiant isn't satisfied with Uct's further posts and places a vote on him because Uct has wrote 5-6 posts, all of which were leaning scum in Radiant's POV.
3rd post)
"
I looked at his meta and Uct doesn't always act this scummy at the start of the game.
"
Does some meta searching to see if Uct always acts this scummy at the start of games, Uct doesn't so Radiant adds this to his case.

It also largely doesn't match with Radiant's play.
If Radiant were scumhunting, I'd have expected much stronger posting. Instead, we get a lot of filler. Radiant consistently says the same things, that he has no strong scumreads, and that he'll continue lurking.
In what games does he have strong posting? Radiant's meta is consistent with what he says, he even provided the games for you to look up. He has weak, 1 sentence posts for a lot of his townie games, same as this game.

These are all the games I could find which he completed and he was a townie, so please don't say I'm cherry picking games.

The post that you are referring to where Radiant calls Lucky town was a sarcastic remark, after Lucky called Radiant town for the wrong reasons. Read the
post. It was a joke in reference to Lucky's
nonsensical deductions.
In post 283, mastin2 wrote:He does nothing to obtain a strong read, though. He doesn't follow through on his uctriton read at all, merely stating that uctriton is a slight scumread, not even saying why. In fact, he does the opposite of following through--he drops it entirely to OMGUS a player, not even saying if Crazzy is scum.
Uct had stopped posting for 5+ pages so there wasn't even any material Radiant could follow his scumread on. Invalid point.

Radiant wasn't even under that much pressure, the highest he went to was L-3, there was no reason for him to claim. Lucky's wagon, on the other hand, was on L-1, so obviously Lucky's only option should be to claim or get lynched.
What heavy pushing are you talking about? Radiant is simply annoyed with Mattel's lack of content like we all are (read my posts) and rightfully so I would say.
