1) I hate commas
2) Hard it's not, but without someone counterclaiming it I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt
3) Early in the game people go after each other for various reasons. He saw fit to investigate you. It may be goofy to you and to me, but that was his choice and he got his result back.
4) Actually even more get lynched via guilt by inaction. When it's early in the game, people will also look at voting records and say so and so was in on the lynches for these townies, but on these scum that were lynched, they chose not to vote on them. Likewise if you join every lynch you'll be accused of being a bandwagon unless you're one of the early voters. You need to vote ones when the evidence is pretty clear that the person is scum. If it's late in the day sometimes it is worth voting to get a lynch even if you aren't sure that person is scummy as it will tell you the role of hte person lynched and maybe get clues from who is pushing the lynch. Granted this is not full proof as sometimes protownies do make mistakes, but it gives a good reference point.
5) yes at this point you won't change my mind, however, it might influence others that will vote.
