Well, I encourage people to look at all the ladd posts I quoted above holistically and try to extract any patterns in how he discusses people. So for example in what you're responding to, Visor SRed:
Taffy
Dya
HK
Ladd rejected all of these.
He rejected Taffy SR because Taffy has attitude, pushes, furthers the game - "completely opposite" what Visor says.
He rejected dya SR because Visor's meta on dya is out of date (that's it).
He rejected HK SR because he's posting the same as in Visor's Sorc game ("but i concede he may be a wolf").
I can't tell you what it all means, but we can say he's wishy-washy on HK, hard-defending Taffy, and offering a very vague defense of dya.
Well, yeah. I don't see how that adds up to Taffy and Dyachei being suss but Hollowkatt not. The distinction you're trying to draw doesn't exist. This is someone who will happily defend townies. Maybe you don't know that for sure, but I do.

Sure, see again his quoted reads list from early D2:

then i villa lean a bunch of people but i could easily be wrong on them -csargo/monty/dya/boq/HK
What he's doing with Visor at EOD is consistent with that: strongest defense for Taffy.
HK is the one, of the three, he explicitly says "may be" scum however. And I expect that ladd did the typical thing and spread his teammates among tiers.
So even if you think HK is scummy, he shouldn't be easily paired with Taffy or dya.

Ohh. Never mind. I think you at least in part were making a totally different point than I thought you were.
