Yes I did that on purpose. I made no mention of Austin anywhere in my posts yet Austin looks like he's taking the information I provided and is trying to draw conclusions, while Marv is just trying to debunk everything I say (instead of say, analyzing the Promethelax case and looking for connections to the last mafia). Austin knows he's innocent so he didn't read at all into the fact that his name wasn't mentioned, because that wasn't on his mind. Marv noticed it in particular because he knows he's guilty.
(Except it's also really apparent why you'd do that and the only possible other targets were marv and myself and there were already reasons to be suspicious of him)

Foolishness Stuff

Couple posts D1 saying marv is possible. Not the lynch, but possible mafia. Only relevant, and slightly, to associations.

I'm okay with Prome + WoS mafia --> WoS responds in a way I like --> Prome. It's the natural progression for either side, but imo it's tougher for mafia to say "one of these two dudes" --> choose one --> end up having that guy look good and go towards the other. For a townie, you just pick your now best scum target. As mafia, you lost a possible mislynch at the time, and you ... dislike that? Foolishness's D1, especially where gonzaw questions him, reads MORE like a townie response than the scummy one - + Show Spoiler +

Morning guys. Marv no, I don't think it's the same kind of Prome that I'm used to seeing. What it reminds me of is that game I was the mayor and lynched the piss out of Prome D1. He was a lurky little shit that game, but I caught him on something very similar to what I noticed this game. Like I think it's awful that I have to ask this, but did you read my post on him?

That being said, I at least dig one of his targets. I asked Foolish about his thoughts on this same matter and what I got is "lol you and Hapa townies" which is definitely NOT what I was after. He answered my question as if he'd read the exchange between us, but left me with a feeling that he hadn't actually read anything at all.

If I see one more person say they're going to ignore my posts, I won't be responsible for the outcome. You have been warned.

where the first two paragraphs seem really out of place and forced, though the last two sentences of the post read very town.

However I think if you just read through his filter and analyze it as a whole there's nothing to be afraid of. Is he pushing any sort of mafia agenda? No. Does it feel like he doesn't have the town's best interest in mind? No. Does it feel like he's actually trying to figure things out? Yes.

This is where he explains his super townread of me right? But look at the bolded bit. He's criticizing me asking marv about my Prom post and the part where I share my observation about our interaction, but says that the TOWNIE bit is the last two sentences, the "fluffy" angry nonsense at the end.

Like, I'm trying to wrap my head around this. He thinks I'm town, presumably he knows that I share at least Promethelax as a scumread, but he tries to lightly discredit me while calling me townie? And after the entire post, I STILL don't know if he actually READ my post on Promethelax. Something doesn't add up. I'm missing something, somewhere.

Bringing light to the fact that your post was incredibly weird minus the last two sentences. It was really odd, and I don't think I'm the only one who said so. You're town and we all know it. Don't pull a gonzaw.

You know, I'm kind of serious with this Foolishness stuff. Does any one of you have anything to say about him?
Basically:

1)Voting WOS, wanting to lynch other guys, but never change his vote and goes AFK
2)Seeming contradiction, since he almost thought I was scummy scum because I "did" something similar
3)People seemed to find him town because they agreed with him. But right now, apparently town sentiment against WOS and Prome dropped, so what makes that post of him townie now?
4)Remember the time he made a horrible entrance to the game making a scummy vote, pointless post and unfounded reads?

1) I explained why I kept my vote on WoS, since then he has responded and I liked what he said. He's being very affirmative and speaking his thoughts. When I first accused him early in the day I thought the opposite of this (also explained in my earlier posts). Now he's here, he's posting, and he's trying for the town. And that's the direction I started to lean towards when I made my big post. My vote on WoS was to affirm this suspicion, and also to get other people to comment on it.

2) Don't know what you're exactly referring to. But you were being trolly at the start of the day and it was impossible to know what your motives were. Your motives are clear now. As I also said in my recent post, you dying would answer a lot of questions. Not that that's going to happen anytime soon (or ever really).

3) Promethelax is scum. WoS probably not. Read above.

4) Nope.

##Unvote
##Vote: Promethelax

- side note. Gonzaw AGAIN follows up on Foolishness when Prome comes back and posts a bit. Foolishness does NOT change his mind on Prome. I don't think that really matters.

Foolishness's comment on Sandroba looking better because of activity is scummy. His first response to people asking about that is to me, the "speaks volumes" post. I look better for continuing to post, Sandroba looks scummier for not. He does NOT AT ALL address the fact that Sandroba was not really active, knows he only posted a couple times. I don't love that either.

Continues minor harping on marv D1. Gonzaw asks about whether Foolishness would lynch marv or sandro. Foolishness says both, while calling out marv's posting. Again, for association purposes, makes the two together unlikely.

Calls me out here:

There's no way this sandroba lynch is good.

Also

"Back. Caught up and also read Prome. Fine with a prome lynch." - Austin

Except I'd also said I was fine voting Sand. This was a point against him earlier, because he doesn't appear to be reading all my posts, he's just grabbing something and throwing it, trying to scare people off of sand. I still don't like it. BUT BUT BUT this post makes no sense if the team is Foolishness/sandroba/prome. Foolishness wants to push a prome lynch, FINE. Dandy. But Foolishness, if the team is sand/prome/foolishness, PROBABLY has a hard time really making me look shady after this. He knows BOTH are mafia. Is the one thing he really grabs a quote from a guy who said he would vote either of those two? Doesn't he do...something different? Like, prome flips mafia. And on D2, sand...does nothing again? He's probably still on the block. If Foolishness is TRYING to make me look bad here and put me up for lynch D2, or discredit me, he's going to have trouble, because Sandroba is, in all likelihood, still gonna get lynched at some point. I don't think scum foolishness, on THAT team, makes that post.

I don't think mafia Foolishness is so insistent on the "kill these 4 players" plan. I know people took issue with it, knowing that if they were mostly town or all town scum Foolishness magically wins the game. This discounts the fact that: (1) people didn't trust Foolishness, so had NO REASON to actually follow his plan, it's not a way for scum to win the game because holy crap nobody is going down that list on Foolishness's say-so; and (2) there's at least some reason to back up that list. (1) being more important than (2).

Gonzaw was poking at Foolishness during N2. Gonzaw got killed. i THINK this is mildly mildly townie. (1) Foolishness spends a LOT of the night cycle, most of his posts, going back and forth with Gonzaw. Critical of Gonzaw. In general, this is more likely to mean that he's town, given that scum was gonna kill Gonzaw (not 100%, and it's a rule that mafia can and SHOULD exploit by talking a bunch about their NK target). (2) Could be scummy because who wants gonzaw dead? The guy gonzaw is being really critical of! (3) Point 2 can be WIFOMed (and should!).


It's not the greenest of filters to me. But i THINK that in that group of 3, foolishness is the town. The NK, the post about me during the D1 lynch.

Not the tone - the act itself. Like, if he were town I feel like rather than do a stream of consciousness thing, he would read and have actual suspicions and post those.

I disagree. I could swear he's done this specifically as town before (as have I) but I'd have to check which is kind of difficult for me atm. Either way he's given me enough that even were I able to be convinced before his return (which I kinda doubted) I certainly won't be voting him today.

Like I get the we 'expect more' but is it not possible that Prome simply hasn't gotten to his 'POP' case yet? I don't allow this defense for people like Foolishness/Sandroba because they haven't actively been here.

That's the thing though, we don't "expect more" we expect actual thoughts and opinions. Having suspicions of someone, and succinctly explaining them, takes actually LESS effort than doing a stream of consciousness catch up thing. It's that I expected LESS. Like, I don't know, it's hard to explain. But I'm not voting for him so ultimately it doesn't matter much.

Foolishness can you comment on the conversation VE and I had about Prome that ended with the above post?

Sounds like you're making good arguments why he should be lynched.

Look at it this way. Let's say I posted and said, "Kitaman is the best lynch right now!" what would you respond? You'd say, "wtf he's been pushing the town in the right direction and asking good questions."

Now I say, "Promethelax is the best lynch right now!" (or Holyflare) what is your response? You say, "Eh, I feel like he's doing okay..."

I don't see any arguments that show that Promethelax is pushing the town in the right direction or pushing a pro-town agenda. He's responded sure, but where's the conviction and the push to get something done?

In relation to what gonzaw just posted, I feel like the above could be applied as well to either marv or snadroba----and actually starts to mesh with the idea that I haven't been feeling anything at all from marv all game aside from a little bit of agreement in some posts that I quoted earlier in my filter.
Taking a closer look at marv.



WoS, just before his Foolishness vote, has a bunch of posts on Foolishness/prome/marv/sandro. Not trusting Foolishness, who had posted a case-y thing and a vote on Prome. Asking Gonzaw about Gonzaw's vote, wondering whether Gonzaw would prefer marv or sandro. It FEELS legit. He doesn't just sheep Gonzaw's vote, there's a lot of leadup that FEELS townie to me, where WoS is looking at Prome and Foolish a lot but never really doing anything super mega conclusory with them.

I like WoS's conclusion that at least one scum was on the Sandroba wagon. It was against the grain, but he's not using it to try and paint anyone in particular as scummy. He just explains WHY he thinks there's a scum or multiple scum on sandroba, says it's unlikely me or gonzaw (for reasons). I really really like his thoughts after the Sandroba lynch. Neato.

I feel good about WoS's D1.

I like WoS's break in his catchup posts to tell people to stop commenting on fluff in the way that they are. That reads real townie in the middle of his other junk, when he's not attacking anyone in particular, and I like it.

I want to stop now. Also, I'm going to.

Phoneposting cause this weirded me out
Wtf waste of time is this.
Why is your read on me impoortant right now?
Why is it all based on D1 play when you coiuld have come to the same conclusions yesterday BUT YESTERDAY YOU THOUGHT I WAS SCUM

Foolishness I am not the key to this game. You are.
Yesterday I was really weirded out by people doing a 180 on you, and VE wasn't dead and green. It's relevant because my analysis and vote come down to thinking kita and you are town, and I wanted to make sure that was the case with a reread.

KITAMAN'S COMBINATRICS CRAP

Toad is on board here with marv/prome/foolishness, pick 2
WoS or kita, are you as well?

Regardless, here's how that set of 3 people plays out! marv/foolishness OR prome/foolishness OR marv/prome

(1) marv + foolishness

marv attacks foolishness on D1, because of Foolishness's sandroba comments. That's a lot of mafia on mafia on mafia interaction. Foolishness attacks marv on D1 for not doing much, again, a lot of mafia on mafia on mafia interaction.

Does it make sense? It does if they go "jesus we're going to look weird if we're around at endgame, we need to sacrifice one or two of us to get one guy to endgame." They drop sandroba, giving marv credit, but keeping foolishness and marv at odds.

Overall though, i find this UNLIKELY, because it seems like a terrible plan to START THE GAME thinking you're going to lynch your buddies and set yourselves apart. Their D1s, both posting that the other looks scummy, and continuing to harp on that, make it look like they are NOT mafia together.

(2) prome + foolishness

Town had the bestest D1 EVER? And again, from D1, foolishness and prome are calling each other mafia and setting themselves apart? Then Foolishnes is going "prome is the best lynch" --> I was wrong, prome likely town --> Prome is the best lynch? What does this accomplish for that team?

Two scenarios. In one, they want PROME lynched and Foolishness alive. Foolishness gets a little town cred, maybe doesn't get lynched tomorrow. But here's the deal. He needs TWO mislynches. He's basically locked into not lynching Kita or Toad. So he goes for marv ezpz, after prome flips. Fine. Then Foolishness only has myself/WoS to go after. He's gone hard back to WoS is town, and is continuing to state that, push that, today when he just got back to thread. If he needs WoS as a mislynch, I don't think he reinforces the idea that he finds WoS townie. If he wants to go after me, he probably doesn't keep halfway buddying me. I think that this plan makes 0 sense. ESPECIALLY because the plan is "have Foolishness survive until endgame and secure a mislynch." Townies are going to be really creeped out by a living Foolishness at that point, ESPECIALLY after Foolishness worked so hard to get prome lynched. It just doesn't work.

So the other scenario. They want FOOLISHNESS lynched today. Prome lives. MAYBE some people give him credit for Foolishness attacking him, who knows. Prome now needs two mislynches. He can get me killed pretty easily, because of my defending foolishness and conduct today. His other mislynch is ... more open. HE can go after toad or kita easier than Foolishness can, saying Foolishness is dicking town around with one of those reads. He can go after WoS, saying WoS looks weird for Foolishness coming back to town on him and really not trying hard to get WoS lynched over VE. Prome has way way way more options to win the game than Foolishness does. It looks LESS WEIRD if prome is around at endgame, and he has more choices.

A mafia team of prome + foolishness HAS AN EASIER TIME OF WINNING if we lynch foolishness and not prome.

(3) prome + marv

In this case, we don't want to lynch Foolishness


If you think that the remaining mafia are within foolishness/promethelax/marv, then you should be lynching promethelax.

Because in one scenario, Foolishness is town. In one scenario, BOTH are mafia, but mafia has an EASIER TIME WINNING if we lynch Foolishness and not promethelax. The ONLY reason you should be voting Foolishness, IF you think mafia is in those three, is if you think the team is Foolishness + marv. I find that team very very unlikely, given how they'd played and interacted.

Nonono, sorry. This is only relevant to marv's D1 swap.

He was on Foolishness, because Foolishness was mafia. Foolishness was mafia, in part, because he wasn't voting sandroba, who was also scummy. He had made a LOT of comments about Foolishness. But as far as Sandroba goes, he has comments like:

This is roughly in order of most to least town. Austin and sandroba might as well be afk until 3 pages ago, but since coming to the thread both have had strong appearances. I'm okay with them right now because they have brought things to the thread, and it is also obvious that if they continue their activity then they are town. If they keep going afk for long periods of time then start to worry. But I don't feel like that will happen.

The following 3 people are all in the ? category. Marvellosity and Holyflare in particular because for all that they have said I don't feel they have really contributed much. Even as I'm writing this I'm thinking back, "what has marvellosity or holyflare done this game", and I cannot remember a single post they have made. That's a bad sign. Anything mafia indicative off the bat? No so much, but then seem to be here without actually being here.

My thinking was that, "okay, as long as these guys are here and continue to post they should be town". This especially applies to sandroba because he is known for being really inactive as mafia.

You're here and posting, should be obvious that you are town. He's not here and not posting, and that speaks volumes for him.

So what the fuck is going on here? In the first post, Foolishness is "sandroba's entrance was fine" - I believe this was picked up by multiple people who questioned it - and we never got an answer as far as I can see from Foolish's filter, despite being asked by more than one person (pls don't say i missed it thanks). Also that sandroba is fine as long as he continues posting. sandroba has not continued posting. So... moving on with Foolish's posts, he prefers to lynch me over sandroba on a "general feeling", despite the fact that by his own metric he should really want to be lynching sandroba pretty fucking hard right now.

sand asked Foolish (and me T.T) some really random question, and then in the 2nd post follows this up by randomly tacking Foolish on as someone who is "maybe" giving him scumvibes, as an afterthought. Scum/scum? (connection bad blabla, not going to lynch on this).

Actually Foolish's posts towards sandroba are exceptionally weak and contradictory in that he's basically not following through on his promises to bust sandroba's ass, which he really should be if sandroba is only fine if he continues posting - and sandroba was only fine in the first place because his posts showed some thought (did they really?)Foolish has kinda rumbled that sand is mafia but... yeah.

I love when people make these kinds of statements. It gives you something concrete to hold them accountable to. It doesn't matter that it's a bad idea to tunnel, but now if you don't see EchelonTee following up on this that is a huge hint. Looking through his filter, he doesn't really have any comments on this other than a wishy-washy statement about how he could be mafia but isn't apathetic. Classic mafia overreaction to trying to distance themselves from their team. Even though it isn't conclusive, its a good start. One method would be to push for a sandroba lynch and see if EchelonTee responds like he says he would.

- he goes from "sand looks worse by default but maybe should get to D3 because he's sand" --> Foolishness looks bad for sand comments --> sand being a top 2 lynch. NOTHING about sand in between.

Then with an hour to go, he wants to lynch sand for doing nothing for town - + Show Spoiler +

Why don't we just kill the dude who doesn't care about town after all?
Kinda curious that Fool has 4 ppl as likely mafia (Prome, holy, me, sand) but...willing to test him on sand for now.

##Vote: sandroba

- okeedoke. We now have a little reasoning, even if the reasoning is kinda obvious. sand isn't doing jack.

sandroba comes BACK and posts on promethelax, votes him. This is marv's current lynch target. marv makes ZERO mention of sandroba's return to thread, even though not helping town was the reason sandroba was mafia. marv makes ZERO mention of it at all, except to say that he doesn't like a Prome lynch because sand and foolishness are on it. He then unvotes sandroba to vote Foolishness again (19 minutes to lynch). Then back to sand (5 minutes).



If marv dislikes sand and Foolishness, fine. But MOST of his posts have been about Foolishness looking bad. He doesn't really come out earlier and call sandroba mafia, and he doesn't respond to sandroba coming into thread at 11th hour and voting prome/writing about prome.

Marv doesn't want prome lynched, but when the vote is 5 Foolishness / 3 Prome / 2 Sand / 1 Gonzaw, he unvotes Foolishness to vote sandroba. Making it 4/3/3/1, and in a game full of shennanies, SLIGHTLY more likely that prome gets lynched by a single vote swap, which couldn't have happened in a 5/3/2/1 world.

It's not ENTIRELY about "voting your strongest scum suspect," it's PARTIALLY about the rest of what I think is wrong with marv's D1 voting. He's swapping his vote multiple times in the last little bit. He's doing so without ever really calling sandroba out previously, when he HAS been calling Foolishness out. In swapping his vote, he makes a dude he doesn't want lynched a little more likely to be lynched. And he just skates over Sandroba's return to thread after a long absence, sandroba's comments on prome, despite the fact that he's voting sandroba at that point, then unvotes him, then votes him again.



I just don't fully buy marv's suspicions and his vote swapping on D1 at the deadline and marv making a comment about voting your strongest scum suspect triggers me poking around that. It's not 1:1, with "but foolishness was your strongest suspect and yet you voted sandroba." That's not valid. But i think that marv's D1 is wonky and his strongest suspect comment set me off.

Fuck vote D1 vote analysis.
Don't read the votes then. Read marv's comments on Sandroba D1, and his comments on Foolishness D1.

Then tell me if you understand why I would ask him about that vote when he tells me to vote the strongest scumread.

Suppose we had a hypothetical situation where I wouldn't want to lynch Prom, but I'd consider marv. Otherwise, I'd vote foolishness. Show of hands, who would support that and who would oppose it?

Brb, 45 mins.
I like this one less than prome v. foolish


Between the two, right now, I'd vote marv.

Again, why are you comparing day 1 to day 3? They aren't the same
I'm not attempting to.

I'm trying to compare your D1 to this comment of yours -

no austin, you should be lynching the absolute strongest read, period.


I can't help that you posted it D3. I don't care about your D3 vote in this case, I care about D1 vote and that comment. Because I don't see sandroba being your strongest scumread on D1.

AND IF ANYONE IS CONVINCED BY THIS AND ONLY THIS THEY ARE ... NOT LOOKING AT THE RIGHT STUFF

But if you really think you always vote your strongest scumread, period, then I don't understand your D1 vote at all. They contradict each other, imo, and it's in a way that I don't like.

Because day 3 is not day 1

Are you being purposefully obtuse?

You can find plenty of games of mine where I day 1 shenannie. No games where I am not voting my strongest read day 3. It's exceptionally simple to understand
Well your comment didn't say

"We should be lynching the scummiest player, period, but only on Days after 1"

or anything like that. It made it sound like this was a hard and fast rule you wanted to enforce always.

Note for my filter for later:
Aside from austin being missing a lot, notably his jovial trolly nature has been missing too.
Must compare some games.

Generally more jovial in town games recently than scum? Off the top of my head, I got a little trolly in Chrono Trigger but ONLY on the last day (see my post about old me and martial arts), and I was very jovial in PTP: Demon's Run, posting at VE about how bears were going to eat him and about how bears were evil and all that jazz.

I think GENERALLY though, more jovial in town games? Not entirely sure on that. I've had srs town games and some jovial scum games, and i THINK i was jovial in scum games regardless of the situation (i believe i was pretty happy and jokey in PTP even when it looked like i couldn't win).

KITAMAN'S COMBINATRICS CRAP

Toad is on board here with marv/prome/foolishness, pick 2
WoS or kita, are you as well?

Regardless, here's how that set of 3 people plays out! marv/foolishness OR prome/foolishness OR marv/prome

(1) marv + foolishness

marv attacks foolishness on D1, because of Foolishness's sandroba comments. That's a lot of mafia on mafia on mafia interaction. Foolishness attacks marv on D1 for not doing much, again, a lot of mafia on mafia on mafia interaction.

Does it make sense? It does if they go "jesus we're going to look weird if we're around at endgame, we need to sacrifice one or two of us to get one guy to endgame." They drop sandroba, giving marv credit, but keeping foolishness and marv at odds.

Overall though, i find this UNLIKELY, because it seems like a terrible plan to START THE GAME thinking you're going to lynch your buddies and set yourselves apart. Their D1s, both posting that the other looks scummy, and continuing to harp on that, make it look like they are NOT mafia together.

(2) prome + foolishness

Town had the bestest D1 EVER? And again, from D1, foolishness and prome are calling each other mafia and setting themselves apart? Then Foolishnes is going "prome is the best lynch" --> I was wrong, prome likely town --> Prome is the best lynch? What does this accomplish for that team?

Two scenarios. In one, they want PROME lynched and Foolishness alive. Foolishness gets a little town cred, maybe doesn't get lynched tomorrow. But here's the deal. He needs TWO mislynches. He's basically locked into not lynching Kita or Toad. So he goes for marv ezpz, after prome flips. Fine. Then Foolishness only has myself/WoS to go after. He's gone hard back to WoS is town, and is continuing to state that, push that, today when he just got back to thread. If he needs WoS as a mislynch, I don't think he reinforces the idea that he finds WoS townie. If he wants to go after me, he probably doesn't keep halfway buddying me. I think that this plan makes 0 sense. ESPECIALLY because the plan is "have Foolishness survive until endgame and secure a mislynch." Townies are going to be really creeped out by a living Foolishness at that point, ESPECIALLY after Foolishness worked so hard to get prome lynched. It just doesn't work.

So the other scenario. They want FOOLISHNESS lynched today. Prome lives. MAYBE some people give him credit for Foolishness attacking him, who knows. Prome now needs two mislynches. He can get me killed pretty easily, because of my defending foolishness and conduct today. His other mislynch is ... more open. HE can go after toad or kita easier than Foolishness can, saying Foolishness is dicking town around with one of those reads. He can go after WoS, saying WoS looks weird for Foolishness coming back to town on him and really not trying hard to get WoS lynched over VE. Prome has way way way more options to win the game than Foolishness does. It looks LESS WEIRD if prome is around at endgame, and he has more choices.

A mafia team of prome + foolishness HAS AN EASIER TIME OF WINNING if we lynch foolishness and not prome.

(3) prome + marv

In this case, we don't want to lynch Foolishness


If you think that the remaining mafia are within foolishness/promethelax/marv, then you should be lynching promethelax.

Because in one scenario, Foolishness is town. In one scenario, BOTH are mafia, but mafia has an EASIER TIME WINNING if we lynch Foolishness and not promethelax. The ONLY reason you should be voting Foolishness, IF you think mafia is in those three, is if you think the team is Foolishness + marv. I find that team very very unlikely, given how they'd played and interacted.



Do you disagree with my conclusion? Or you think that it's not worth lynching based on that conclusion, and you're just set on Foolishness whether it makes the most sense out of those three or no.

the latter. I want this cleared up for now.
If prome is town, I assume you think Foolishness is mafia 100%?

If prome is mafia...foolishness likely town but not certain?

I know that lynching A to clear up B sounds smelly, and isn't conclusory, but i THINK things are mostly cleared up with either lynch, and I think prome puts us in the best position.

(3) townmarv doesn't ask questions with obvious and irrelevant answers like "you know that brainz thing is useless"

(4) Repeats the second half of (2) but bolded, marv has been VERY backseatish this game, and even has noted once or twice that he might need to take control of things, yet he never actually does. Even when arguing the prome v foolishness lynch today, he's happy to just comment and argue, but he never really tries to impose his will on this lynch.

(5) I really hope that I'm seeing things correctly today

Am I in a different day 3 to everyone else? Who else has been pushing shit today like I have?
Is this a question to me, or a question to everyone else as to whether you've been different?

I don't think you've been PUSHING.

FiveTouch thought i was town, but was smacking down my suggestions and reads in that mayoral game, and FORCING the town to do what he wanted. Marv in other past games has been a little more shove-y when he thinks he's right and others are wrong.

In this game, you appear to think you're right and that i'm wrong, but you're just...telling me I'm wrong, and chatting with me, and I don't feel the PRESSURE from you to conform to your way of thinking. And I don't feel that same PRESSURE from you towards others, although that may be just me.
