Catnip points out their grievances with dredge (unprompted) after dregde complains that catnip was townread and they weren't. Dredge's reaction to this is "wtf, I thought you townread me?" (very similar to their post that catnip quoted)
i really don't like dredge's angle here, catnip saying it's townie is whatever but I like their insistence with their wolf feeling
catnip goes through dredge's arguments for suspecting catnip. I don't really have the context for the first two points but I believe they're defensible
as for the third point I believe I remember the context -- catnip saw Oink say that they were busy and imply that it should be NAI that they entered the thread as late as they did and posted a little emotionally over it. I really don't understand dredge's angle here -- it was wolfy because ... sheeping protag's one liner about it? It doesn't really seem to apply (granted I have no idea what the one liner was) and is kinda a bad point imo.
UPDATE: i found the 1 liner, I think
This doesn't even read like it could be construed as sheeping the one liner? I read it as genuine and related to posting about activity; I don't see any subtext about implying it's wolfy at all lol
so imo one of dredge's points (which may just be tacked on to make the case stronger?) is just wrong, which catnip goes on themselves about
:
----- then, dredge posts a case
dredge opens by flat out accusing catnip of lying -- having badgered oink for being late, then sheeping it being >rand w -- and pushes hard on the point that now they're sheeping... goblin?
Why does the narrative change here? Anyways, catnip themselves deconstructs it pretty fine so i'm not going to repeat that:
catnip clarifies things, and honestly in a way that's pretty easy to understand, but dredge doesn't really seem to get it, and circles back to sheeping
protaginst hair this time (which is like, wut, am i missing some context here?? Dredge seems to continuously misinterpret what catnip is saying and at this point it's really hard to believe that perspective is legitimate.
(there was more quotes between the two of them, but i didn't have much to say so I cut them out)
Dredge has consistently brought arguments to the table that while yes, some of them are valid points that catnip does address, the ones that keep getting argued over either change between posts (sheeping protag --> sheeping goblin, which was never mentioned before) or are just so extremely tunneled that catnip could just quote themselves to discuss the point.
The arguments
here and
here hardly make sense to me anymore (I tried to boil them down to points but couldn't). My take on this is that dredge just tunneled catnip for some reason (? to seem productive, to cause something to happen?) and brought up arguments seemingly just for the sake of arguing.
It's hard to see their involvement here as genuine, and I think catnip saw it too by the end, but they didn't say much about it themselves and end up seemingly townreading them by the end of it. Which, I don't understand, I had dredge as a slight townlean before this but now I'm putting this as a wolflean after reading this.
