After reading in depth, I'd have to say that I think Raitaki and Shadoweh are both very unlikely to be scum, especially since they shared a moment at the beginning of day three discussing the roleblocked message. It would require a level of planning that would require asking for that information from the mod, and I don't think the three people that I can assume would be involved (Shadoweh/Raitaki and CF7) would actually do it.
Even going back through all of CF7's posts knowing he was slinging bullshit, it still doesn't read like slinging bullshit to me. He pointed out two things that looked like scumslips to me at the time (although once I read the exchange over the roleblock message I decided the exact opposite happened) and piled with my day one scumslips from him, It seemed like a bigger case to me than it really was.
I had also completely missed that people were making cases on CF7 that didn't involve his element or the fact that Watcher wouldn't fit into the setup. In my reread, I saw Bard linking to a post he made that was actually a case, but the truth was I never saw that post or the link to that post when I was reading through the first time. It's an oversight on my part that lead me into a continuing confirmation bias against Raitaki.
I feel like No Lynching is a terrible idea, not just from the fact that it's a bad idea in general, but also because Dan and PX seem to keep pushing it for no explainable reason. Dan Just above said it's his preferred option, and in PX's 572, He offers NL as a cursory option as if wanting to test other people's reaction towards it while voting CF7.
I don't think I follow along with the reasoning that Raitaki is scum because CF7 decided to dismiss all of the votes against Raitaki instead of OMGuSing him. A lot of the votes against Raitaki were unpopular, and he was only a Miller at that time, not a doctor, so he was low priority for scum. I think CF7 was going for brownie points at the time by discounting all of the weak votes as scum motivated.
