First, you say "when we find a candidate". Well, that's a rather obscure description. Is a candidate someone who is unanimously agreed upon as being scummy? Wouldn't that be a lynch? What's a candidate? And who's "we"?
Secondly you preclude the fact that the candidate may be ill chosen. For example. Homer Simpson was lynched for exactly the same reasons as Radish, and he was town..yet people continued to attack Radish.
Lastly (and probably most importantly) you are proposing a meta-rule. A, rule of thumb, if you will, for people who are unsure. This is usually a mafia tactic.

I'm just wondering why you're putting objections in my mouth.
I said you were on thin ice, and you filled in the blanks.
When you say "I will not try to appear town with any of my posts", do you mean that you will not purposely try to show townies that you're one of them? I'm confused as to why you'd say that. I mean, I keep reading those two lines to myself.
" I was not trying to appear town with my post. Furthermore, I will not try to appear town with any of my posts"
I can't put my finger on it, but something doesn't feel right.
Perhaps I'm too tired, and seeing shadows..
I apologize if you indeed are a townie.

I've used the term "candidate" before. It's a player who several townies, which makes up the "we" since mafia can't lynch alone, find suspicious. I doubt it's ever unanimous, but it's someone that is approaching hammer.
Secondly, what do you mean by ill chosen? If you mean I haven't thought of the possibility that the lynchee will flip town, then you're incorrect. Obviously a scum lynch is leagues better than a mislynch, but not clearing that player one way or another will always linger on everyone else's minds.
Lastly, I am familiar with the term meta now, but aren't you now meta-metaing?

I suppose I was just thinking out loud rather than waiting for a clarification from you as to what your post meant. I was trying to decide if you're actually suspicious of me or if you're just trying to cast suspicions on me so others will pick them up and run with it. Though I wouldn't put the latter past you as a townie either to see who jumps at the chance.
The meaning behind the two lines may have been more clear if I once again stressed "try." I am town and thus I have no reason to try to appear so. My only concern is to scumhunt.
If you're a townie as well then I accept your apology. If you're scum then gag on it :P
