Instantly writing off self-votes as scummy is scummy.
Self-hammering is an exception because it has an immediate benefit for scum in shutting down communication.
I've actually only ever seen town self-hammer. But I've seen scum self-vote for sympathy pretty often. Either way, the self-vote is only a small part of my case on Ika. It's interesting that FourTrouble is ignoring the entire rest of my case.
Why would you choose to argue about whether self-hammering is scummy or not, when it's too late to form a read post-hammer?

And if that's his intention? Because that's a scum tactic I've seen before. Why do you automatically dismiss this possibility?
A shunned player becomes a non-entity. Titus wasn't asking about scum causing drama. She specifically said
If Tom is reading Dick as scum and Dick is being a drama whore, why would Tom ignore him when he could find proof of Dick's scumminess in the drama to convince Harry? That doesn't mean Sally has to pore over Dick's posts if she thinks Dick is just dick town.

Not liking how Pasch is promoting giving drama whores an audience. That said, I don't think it's alignment indicative as much as it is a difference of opinion.
