Yes, you are right. But "players have been lynched for not explaining their vote and turned out innocent" is in my point of view the same as saying "players have been lynched for voting Joe and turned out innocent", it's something too general. Anyway, let me say, and I hope to make it clear by this once and for all, this is all getting away still from the point of why I said that. The point was not "he did not state why he voted, lynch him!" The point was: "Let him state reasons for his vote." Because when somebody says his reasons for voting, the others may conclude something from it: Okay, this reasoning looks fishy, etc. I do not want anything else than to wait for Gollum to say that. Yet still I considered it important to point out also that the behavior itself is weird: say "I don't have time to tell my reasons for voting now", one expects in the next post "I didn't have time to say the reasons back then, but now I will tell you, here they are", and that this can be hoping for it to be forgotten, especially now that the person voted for is dead.
