Greenie's stated reason for voting Nog yesterDay, other than retaliating, was 'because he makes weak reasons sound big'. Going through his early posts yesterDay (before she first said this) I could find only two points to which she may have referred, other than his suspecting her to be the Bear:
1. his case for SpM being the cobbler, which was chiefly based on the FWI discussion and relied on SpM rather misinterpreting the narration on purpose than being genuinely confused;
2. his suspicion (backed by linguistic nitpicking) that Roa had only pretended to be confused about the number of wolves. Looked overblown to me at the time, but likely a language problem.
Note that he used 1. to corroborate the Greenie=Bear hypothesis:

This seems a bit stretched. Given that Bear and Wolves are natural competitors, would a Bear really want to signal to the Wolves, or the cobbler?
And that's about it. Grasping at straws? Maybe, but on purpose and with malevolent intent?
