Slaan, a big issue I have with your defense is that it's a ton of self-meta.

You'd never crumb a vig as scum vig. Okay, that's plausible. You reacted like I had two heads to that. Probably a bridge too far on my tinfoil.

But, for a lot of other things, your defense has been "I'd never do that" and it's appeared something like three times by now to several different lines of attack.

At a certain point it's just so much WIFOM.
