It was totally unprompted, but that means nothing when it comes to Miller claims - it could just as easily be scum trying to preemptively justify an investigation result as it could be town preemptively attempting to dispel uncertainty. But his flavor claim (Edward V) makes absolutely no sense IMO. Richard III would make much more sense for a Miller. Miller also seems like a very unusual pick for a Mini, unless it's only part of the role.
You've stated twice now that a Miller is an unusual pick for a Mini which isn't the case and isn't actually something that I understand; can you explain your reasoning behind this? I don't understand why you added the bit about the claim being unprompted but that meaning absolutely nothing.
Your "his flavor claim makes no sense!" attack also makes absolutely no sense (your alternative for a "good" miller claim is a king that probably murdered his brother which is less miller material and more scum material whereas "not being crowned but still being a king" makes infinitely more sense for a miller claim but you haven't tried to address this in the least bit")
The majority of your content otherwise is "this post is horrible! i like this post!". My expectation would be that there would be a few things that you'd comment on and dive deeper than the most surface level possible.

And this is where we disagreed. I'm not sure that there's anything more we can move forward with in regards to this particular point.

Specifically, while I was this way during Sakura Wars, you've repeatedly seen that I think of my play in terms of utility first, artistry second, and have explicitly acknowledged that I do not mind dying at all, even preferring it that way, as scum.
You are probably misunderstanding the statement I made about your play there - scum players who dislike sticking their neck out are very much utility first, artistry second players (they are less likely to take risks that don't have a bright shiny reward sitting at the end of the tunnel whereas artistry first, utility second players are more willing to take high risk high reward moves), and being unwilling to stick your neck out has absolutely nothing to do with a willingness to die. What did you think I was saying here?

Is there a characterization of you that was inaccurate that you didn't cover in this spurt of posting?
The "I didn't expect people to believe my case" isn't something that's immediately obvious; you posted a sizeable wall, you went in depth, you sold the read.
The using activity as a point against you was a bad interpretation yes, but I don't think that it's a particularly unreasonable one unless you expect me to be aware of your schedule.
The "sticking your neck out" point is a point where you're either completely confused as to what I'm saying or I'm completely confused as to what you're rebuttal is saying.
