Annachie, I hope your wife is well soon.
Anyway, I haven't looked too much at the links ksen provided, but we should probably be at least a little sympathetic with the whole "lynch an inactive" thing--It's wrong, but I belong to another forum which has mafia (I've never played there) where lynching inactives seems to be commonplace.
On to Annachie. At the moment he is the best place for my vote. I'm still getting town vibes from Ether and boberz. Everyone else is more or less neutral still, except for ksen and Annachie.
ksen
: I still argue he's posted next-to nothing. Honestly, he's linked us to a few games on some forum in which it is appropriate to lynch inactives (though I still haven't had the best look at them--Someone who has should correct me if I'm making an oversimplification) and he has called out Yarmond for not having posted. While, as above, I sympathize that he probably has learnt that this is correct, he should have posted some actual reads by now. I'm not sure what to make of the dialogue between him and boberz except that ksen is being stubborn, and boberz is still giving the same town vibe he has the whole game. Therefore I see ksen on the whole as useless, but not necessarily because he is scum--Though this is one possible explanation.
Annachie
: I'll say from the beginning that I don't like how he made three posts from my vote on him without commenting about it/me/anyone else, but I can let that slide given the circumstances. I definitely want to know why he's voted me, and the answers to questions others have posed to him in his next post, though. I'll flesh out my earlier vote on him now.

I think in Annachie's case hypocrisy is a scumtell, though it may not be in all cases. The two main points in which he was being hypocritical are that he requested opinions which he had not yet divulged himself, and that he used my not having posted much content as a reason to vote for me, while he hadn't either. My main problem is the former, as the latter could be (somewhat) excused by his situation in real life. Withholding such information only benefits him as scum, and getting it from others could help either side, but he then looks like a proactive townie aiding in the discussion.
Moreover, I think he is blatantly dodging questions. Or at least the one about my being confrontational. He has responded to several things after the posting of this question, which leads me to further believe that he was looking for a reason to vote for me (since I'd called him my biggest scum read) and that's what he came up with.
Oh, and

Rather I was excusing what might have been confused with OMGUS--I didn't want people to think I was doing exactly as Annachie was doing.
