Okay clearly you're being affected by a small head syndrome.
HF and Obi were having a shitfest. I'm not arguing that. When this happens there are a few options open to a player not involved. Some of them are useful, some are useless. Here's a few options GB could have taken.
GB could have:
You'll notice that he did actually take one of the options. The problem I have is that is by fare the worst option available. By his own admission he wasn't trying to stop them, so what was he trying to achieve? He wasn't being funny, he wasn't being sociable, he wasn't trying to bring up a new subject, he wasn't scumhunting or trying to poke people further.
Why did GB post?

GB could have:
- Ignored it and walked away
- Tried to put a stop to it
- Tried to change the subject to something more entertaining or useful
- Joined in on the fun
- Idly complained about it without trying to stop it or change the subject
- Tried to glean some information from it

This is the scummiest post in the thread.
In my mind, this here confirms GB as mafia. It would probably be best if we made the lynch today between me and him because I am from this point probably never dropping this tunnel. There is no way I will ever believe he would post something like this as town. I'll explain why.
GB's weird assumption is that I have to apply the same standards of believing in everything he says. This is obviously not the case. There is absolutely no need for me to be consistent with what I believe and what I don't believe from GB because I'm valuing everything against what I think. In this specific scenario it goes like this:
I believe this because if he was actually trying to stop the discussion his attempt was incredibly futile. If he was indeed trying to stop them I'd have expected him to try a much more authoritative tone. "Stop this now guys", or something to that effect. Because his post doesn't really sound like he is actually trying to stop them arguing, I believe him when he says that he wasn't trying to stop them.
In this case, his story (I wasn't trying to stop them) is consistent with what I believe (his post didn't look like he was trying to stop them) so I believe him.
The reason I assumed he had been trying to stop them before he clarified, was simply that was the only reason I could think of that would make him post that.
The other one:
Here I DON'T believe he was trying to be funny or incite a response. The reason is the same as before. When I read his post it simply doesn't sound to me like he is trying to be funny. It sounds lazily exasperated to me.
In this case, his story (I was trying to be funny) is inconsistent with what I believe (the post wasn't funny, didn't look like it was meant to be funny) so I don't believe him.
Now everything above should of course not really have required an explanation, but I wanted to be extra thorough because this isn't getting the consideration it should. There is no way GB actually thinks that calling me out on being inconsistent with whether or not I believe him, when he knows it's perfectly natural to question some things people say and not question other things, is actually a valid thing to do.
There is no reason for him to do this unless he is mafia.
I am certain.

Final attempt to push GB:
He's been away for almost 20 hours. Whatever he does he knows it's going to be worthless with the euros gone to sleep when he finally shows up. He doesn't care who we lynch today.
Also. Go to his filter and look for any recent insights/reasoned reads. He has exactly one.
Everything else is "tease" reads and questions. Few examples of reads that either aren't really explained or him just asking random questions:
Question.
Unexplained read.
question.
Only what, not why
Oh and I forgot about this. Yet another instance of GB accusing me of something I'm not doing.
Eden was posting posts with no content at the beginning, but I know why he posted them, which is why they didn't jump out to me. I think I know why he posted popcorn, why he trolled around etc. I also think I know why ritoky posted pictures. I understand those.
GB's post is just different.
