OK, so,
From what I can tell, Candle Jack's problems with Kast stem from his criticism of the voting bloc and his criticism of players in the voting bloc, because it's distracting from scum hunting. GI's criticism of Kast is that he's practically OMGUS-discrediting people and posting walls with no real content.
As far as reading Kast in ISO, I looked over his arguments to do with the voting bloc and his criticisms of the players in the voting bloc.
My only major problem with his criticism of the voting bloc is that there's a lot of IIoA in it. But other than that, his criticisms make sense.
As far as his criticisms of people in the voting bloc go:
Candle Jack-> I couldn't actually find where he decided CJ was an acceptable lynch. There's mentions of him here and there in his ISO, and his original concerns with CJ's play made sense to me, but somewhere between his big reads post in his ISO#11 and his reads in his ISO#19, CJ went from being neutral to being an acceptable lynch, with no real explanation.
LLD-> His arguments here make sense, but he doesn't actually take a stance and just sort of fence sits while calling her an acceptable lynch. The way I read it is Kast is concerned that LLD
could be
scum because her town reads aren't well-supported and her scum reads match those of her town reads. But I don't see how he went from this to LLD being an acceptable lynch.
And I think he has some sort of neutral->town read on the rest of the people in this voting bloc. "Ambivalent" is pretty vague, though.
As for GI's case on Kast, I think a lot of it is overreacting because he wants Kast dead. From this line...

... I pretty much guessed what the rest of the post was going to be like.
I'm finding Kast only mildly suspicious after reading through his ISO. A lot of his thought processes I can follow, but there are some that just don't make any sense to me. I want proper explanations for his reads and less ambiguity. On a side note, I'm finding it hard to believe that scum would make up a list of reads (ISO#11) that is most neutral or scummy with... one town read... ISO#11 looked like Kast-town genuinely not having any solid reads.
I'd rather Malthusis dead than Kast, tbh.
In any case, I'm not willing to lynch someone who's V/LA until Tuesday without giving him a chance to defend himself.
