Refresh my memory - what leads you to believe I bussed Macdougall? I was one of the researchers for his meta.
Two posts in particular: First, you questioned Epi's suggestion that Mac was bad and said something to the effect of "Black Rock has the same amount of content." The second was your post about how you saw "no evidence" to suggest Mac was just low on time which we talked about a few hours ago.
What was suspicious about me questioning Epi? I wasn't going to just believe his assertion that Macdougall was bad without asking questions. Black Rock had the same amount of posts or one more than Macdougall and those posts also seemed to be devoid of content. I was asking Epi to differentiate between the two.
On the issue of me saying there was no evidence Mac was just low on time, I was asking you to explain why you stated with certainly that he was low on time when he never mentioned anything in the thread about it. You didn't state it as an opinion, you stated it as if it were fact. I questioned how you knew this as it seemed to me you had knowledge that the rest of us didn't - maybe because he was your bts partner. After we discussed this in the thread you asked for a third party to give you an opinion about this interaction. Llama stated he thought I was right to ask you about your statements and you proceeded to question him as if his opinion - which you had asked for - was somehow wrong.
You seem to think I'm suspicious for asking questions. Have you never played with me before? Questioning is a hallmark of my style.
My sources can tell me nothing about you, but I do not suspect you for asking questions. I am all in favor of questions and if you are town, those were good questions to ask.
I am suspicious because of the potential relationship with Macdougall reflected in the questions. In the first post, it appeared that you could have been setting up a soft defense of Mac by offering to substitute Black Rock in his place (I recognize the irony of this accusation).
The second post looked like you possibly had already made up your mind to bus Mac (assuming you are bad) and were willfully ignoring alternative possibilities.
I have come off of that second point some after talking with llama earlier. I was initially incredulous about not being able to see that Mac was simply busy IRL from his lack of posts, but it seems I am in the minority on that issue.
