Legate, so you've largely abandoned your previous case against me, is that what you're saying? And made up a new one more-or-less from scratch?
First, let's look at your peripheral arguments:

Yes, and safe as you always are. Adding words like "by the way" make it seem that you don't rely on this thing, but still you had to say that thing - so that other people notice and may, for example, start to suspect me. That is balrogish.

I know
Sally started the cobbler thing. You were the one who suggested that
Rikae was a liability whatever she was. That's what I was referring to– I mentioned it because
Naria thought
I'd come up with it. I'm sorry if I was unclear.

You in fact also disqualified Mac as a balrog saying:

No, I didn't. I said it would be a dumb thing to do,
not that nobody would do it. I wanted people to look at all the possibilties. I didn't want to point too strongly at
Mac and/or
Gil because firstly, I wasn't sure, and secondly, I didn't want to make myself an obvious target if one of them
was guilty.
Your
new main argument is apparently that because I play carefully, and am wary of accusing people outright, you think I'm a balrog.
How about an ordo who is afraid of lynching the wrong person, being wrongly lynched, or being killed in the night?
Take this, for example:

Legate is, at the very least, being a bit of a hypocrite.
I'm not accusing him of balrog-hood at this point, even though he's making what I think is a very dubious case against me. He may have, as he says, got carried away– if so, I feel that what set him off was not really anything I did, but the fact that Macalaure stated his belief in my innocence, more than once.
Again, acting this safe-way. "I am not accusing him of balrogishness, even though he seems like he is one, see how nice I am?"

No, I was
actually saying I wasn't sure about you, and that there could be an innocent explanation– which I put forward– so I wasn't ready to accuse you. Really. That's all.
Legate, if you're not guilty, please think about what I'm saying. We can't afford to lose more innocent miners.
