Soulshade doesn't seem to know the FM meta where naked votes are common and something that is accepted (and I would that is a good thing). This falls under their paradigm where providing reasons is all important and i see them as town trying to push that mindset to help the town.
What I took from this post (quotes removed):
- Soulshade stood by his reasoning, despite being somewhat irrational.
- Soulshade is unfamiliar of the acceptability of naked votes, leading to said irrationality.
- Soulshade is coming from a town perspective by insisting reasoning should accompany votes.
Not to say you're incorrect, your points are all clear and agreeable, but these points could have been extrapolated from his earlier posts (before your vote.)
You insisted that your vote was necessary to determine his alignment, but once I pressured a vote against you the conclusion seemed to be rushed immediately with no new content being introduced to induce some sort of reads shift. It looked like it was being bullshitted.

I know this isn't a solid read but I'm sure I could dig up some posts to say specifically why I think they are town.
I just had a few minor non-read related concerns about this initial write-up:
- Firstly, try not to expect scum to behave in a certain way, it conflicts with bias. Instead, aim to interpret posts to potentially have indicative behavior.
- Secondly, AtE and OMGUS are abbreviations meant to indicate weakness or fallacy in someone's argument, however it isn't unique to scum behavior.
