This makes no sense to me; and since it is coming from you that surprises me. I don't have any evidence to back me up on this, but I would be very surprised if "I haven't liked anything X has said", and variations thereon, are not commonly said in this game. Why is what Slicey did scummy?
Slicey wrote: SpyreX, you think Incog is town correct? So how is it that I posted one line that was similar to what he posted make me scummy? Your case makes no sense.
Why is SpyreX thinking Incog town relevant? I agree that he has failed to make it clear why your pseudo-repetition was scummy, but I'm not sure why the fact he thinks Incog is town has any bearing on that.

Vollkan, yes, it's legitimate to ask what the survey will accomplish IF you actually fill out the survey or IF you suspect Hoopla for posting the survey. Neither appeared to be the case.
I can't see at all why completing the survey (which I have said from the outset that I thought to be pointless) is a precondition for it being legitimate to question Hoopla's motivation.

2) It's pretty ridiculous that you would interpret my actions as scum-motivated cautiousness because I didn't "know what Hoopla was looking for". Every single one of his questions was clear in what it meant and my actions are entirely explicable as a genuine inquiry as to the point of Hoopla's survey. You've provided absolutely no explanation as to why it is better to interpret my actions as scum-motivated.
If this is true, why did you ask the question in the first place?
You accused me of being cautious and questioning Hoopla to try and work out what he was looking for. I rebutted that in the quote above by pointing out that the questions were plain in meaning so there would be no need for scum-vollkan to do that. It was obvious what Hoopla was "looking for", in the sense that I could see what the 'information' (in quotation marks because I don't want to imply that any of it would be useful) that would come from the survey would be.
What wasn't obvious, and what I was trying to get at with my questioning of Hoopla, was why he thought the survey would be useful.

The point is that you were quick to pull the trigger on me without really inquiring what it was that I had on you. It's like shooting me with a pistol because you see me holding what may be another pistol or may be a squirt gun.
As I just said, if you had any decent reasons you should have raised them yourself. It's not unreasonable that if you make an attack on me without any reasons, particularly when expressed in the meaningless form of "Vollkan might be scum", that I would dismiss you outright.
