One of them is Ibn-khaldun. Yes he havn't dominated discussions. But he followed a easy bandwagon. For me that is much more scummy.
No, that's not scummy. I followed TC's long analysis and it seemed that CA is guilty. And bandwagoning part? It's how townies behave. I think you watch movies. In movies it takes only one person to create an angry mob to kill someone. That's how people work. Give them a good reason(or not that good, it doesn't matter) and they will lynch someone.
