Okay yeah I think I get this? I still don't feel like calling you a vocal player on this front is really accurate (or implying that you are by calling you one of the loudest) but I think between this explanation and rereading some of KoD's posts, I get what he's trying to say about you pushing the narrative.if I'm understanding this correctly KoD's point is that I engaged in discussion about the thing, even though I didn't necessarily do the thing. his argument is that i'm scum for pushing a narrative that one of Ex/Minish is scum because they both have roles that have to do with cult things, and that could be scum!me pushing a false narrative without being directly involved (i.e. not drawing attention to oneself). makes sense to me. and i did indeed engage with that discussion - not because i'm scum trying to push a false narrative, mind you - but because i didn't understand what Numbers was saying at the time and wanted to get more context
whether or not i have been vocal in wanting to off Ex (i haven't) it doesn't take away from the fact i engaged with people who might want to, and looked hedgy on the matter in the process. being "third loudest" or whatever doesn't conflict with KoD's argument
it's wrong, ofc, but it makes sense at least, idk the problem here, and idk why you feel the need to defend me so hard??
As for why I was defending you so hard, I feel like arguing is a natural reaction when I feel like someone's making a case that doesn't make sense? I was focusing on the wrong aspects of the argument I think when trying to engage with it which is why it wasn't making sense to me. I probably should've taken a step back and tried to focus on the actual substance of the argument instead of being nitpicky and wasting time arguing in circles.
