Firstly, everyone looks at low post counts and the content of those posts. ActiveStick (at the time when I had targeted him) had 3 posts (I believe, it may have been just the two) and two of those posts were absolute nothing posts. Just about as valuable as my dope Nic Cage pics. Not enough to hang a guy, but certainly not "contributing." Since then, almost all of his posts (and there's only been a couple) have been defence and "oh this game is crazy" type stuff, nothing (again) of much value.
The problem with this posting style, is that it's very similar to how he started the game last time, but not at all how he finished it. Having been able to watch the last couple weeks KNOWING Active was the serial killer, I saw him lie, and I saw exactly how he did it. I paid express attention to him because, quite frankly, I was a little bit miffed that I didn't suspect him at all. Currently he's laying low, and in my opinion, playing a game of complete self-protection (hiding something? I think so). At the end of the last game, he was a leader, he was doing his best to control the game and put himself out there. He was doing his best to "act" like a townie, so why, if I may ask, is he not doing the same now? When he supposedly IS a townie?
To me, it's undeniable. I might be totally blind, but I firmly believe that after watching him play a game and watching him now, he's playing exactly the way he wants to. Self-preservation and flying under the radar.
I haven't cast my vote for him yet, because I'm alright with being on the same page as others, but hey, if ANYONE wants to be on the same page I am, let's get it done.

I am a Townie but choose to not post accusations without good enough evidence, and I explained my thought process behind that already.
At this point of the game you can either form theories in your head and share them regardless how baseless they are, but that can aid the Mafia if you're loud enough and persistent enough when you're completely wrong.
I prefer to target people only when there's substantial enough evidence which there isn't at this time.
I think your reasoning is weak.
I posted earlier already, but whenever a Townie is lynched, we need to focus on those that voted him out. The person that led the lynch should be suspected, but I actually think the followers are more likely to be Mafia in these scenarios because the leader of the rally could have just had poor reasoning (as is the case with you suspecting me) while the followers are the ones that use the incorrect target as an opportunity to pile on.
