How so? I barely wandered out of neutral territory. Frankly I didn't even tell you guys to not lynch him. I merely suggested I can kind of believe his defense and offered two sides to the same argument. I've just seen many newbies say the same thing before about being unsure of when the joke phase has technically ended and for the record, it does appear that they end up town on those charges as often as not town. If you wanted to lynch him, well f*ck I'd even join in considering how close it is to deadline. I'm just trying not to blindly and feverishly execute the new player over his first mistake.
and we were supposed to read all of this from a one-liner, right.
Well how were you supposed to read that I was overly defensive of Elon from a one-liner?
i didnt. some people did. i disagreed, but only logged on later. what strikes me is that you are bringing it up again.
It was a hypothetical question. You didn't, others did.

Yes. The defense in the post was that he thought we were out of the "joke stage". I'll admit that I usually let the so-called joke stage pass without doing overly much because in the end it is always redundant and often leads to a poor lynch. Everyone seems to know when it ends except the person who makes that one joke just after the phase ended, at which point everyone will accuse that person of being scummy. On the other hand, when one posts a serious post before the phase-end hits, everyone will also accuse that person of being scummy. My advise to you is to make posts that fall into neither categories, or simply not to post at all.
Admittedly Aage's second post was more well reasoned on it.
Secondly, why wouldn't I be bringing it up? it's not like it had faded from the limelight and I was responding to an ancient case that had long since died. It was the talk of the moment. Possibly the case du jour. Elon with a side of strike wolf. Am I supposed to ignore it and hope it doesn't cause me to be associated with me on later days? or should I try to restore confidence while it's still in the wild speculation stage?

Not so much overly defensive. It's just that you so very subtly mentioned that you believed his defense without really explaining anything.
It appeared as if you were implying that the defense should be believed because you believed it. Then again, you might just have been saying that you believed his defense, period. That's why I didn't pursue it in my post.
The quickest answer to that is the highlighted section wasn't intended. I was merely making a quick comment to state my position as time was dwindling in the day and Elon seemed to be the closest thing to a real case.

So... unvote
vote nag
Obviously FOS on Vodean and LV.
Just So you know, both of hem haven't really posted serious comments, their last posts are well within the joke vote stage. So I don't really understand your logic here.
Simply posting this to try to show some agreement with Zimmah here. I did not follow the logic in Geegel's vote. Perhaps it was just poorly worded (happens all the time) but I did not follow the post.
