Kismet, I suspect temerity might sufficiently answer my problems with notscience. It does not help that the courage and bravado is a house of cards prone to falling apart. I want to revisit it later, but something I wanted to ask your opinion on was whether he was legitimately trying to sort me yesterday. I don't think he was: in the lack of questions, bite back, and in using my open invitation for questions to immediately front run the concern by trying to explain his read on me instead. Yesterday I thought it was +scum. Now I'm less convinced.
Skitter, I asked how you specifically read my pushes on Cakez/notsci
in tandem
, and whether the read took anything from the sequence, shift over time, etc. or as individualized instances.
I am very aware of Not_Mafia being "virtually impossible" to read in the site consciousness. I am not sure if I agree, but this is personal. The issue is that notscience's description of the Cakez vote makes it seem like the switch was not motivated by a scumread or by trying to sort
either of NM or Cakez
. This is even discarding the idea that you should try anyway, that NM was giving content at the time, and that notsci specifically was interested in trying.
My question for you is: Can you, in your paraphrasing, describe why the vote on NM followed by the vote on Cakez made sense to notscience?
p-edit: Lot of posts, if you feel something is already answered feel free to skip but am too busy to read more rn
