My gut response when reading this is to feel like you have no feelings on whether Drew actually IS town or scum, but you're annoyed that he is now being considered less.
I feel like a viable response you could have made as town here would have been to have a quick skim through Drew's meta yourself and confirm whether what I was saying was true or not.
I feel like the response you've given, while still possible as town, is kind of the response you'd need to give as scum because you want to come back to Drew as an option later.
I'm annoyed because I want to be right but I think you're town and you have concluded that the meta says otherwise. I both want him to be scum and know that nothing is happening without your approval.
I've been pretty town recently, so if this is where you are, maybe you should just kill me.

It's not about *being right* it's about actually being at the correct answer
There is one correct answer for everyone's alignment in this game and ultimately whatever lens you use if you're using it properly should point to that alignment instead of the wrong one
If Drew's scum, then something about how he is playing fits his scum meta instead of his town meta. He isn't somehow perfectly emulating his town game. There should be evidence that he's scum through that lens.
I can't find any. I see the opposite.
I'd be interested in seeing you do the same thing - looking at a few of Drew's games, seeing how he typically plays and the differences between his alignments, and then coming back to this game and seeing which fits his play here better. I feel like if you did, you'd either more comfortably see Drew as town, or you'd see the opposite and we could have a conversation along those lines and come closer to the truth of the situation.
I feel like the more confident I get in my solving, the more dejected you feel. I don't like sapping the fun out of things, but I feel like I'm just trying to do my job in this game same as you're trying to.
