I can't disagree with the D1 lynch logic for me (I'm not lynchproof btw). Irish went with an off-collar joke about being the D1 lynch and obviously backed off from it. Meanwhile I made a joke about being neutral and haven't made a hard town claim and remained intentionally ambiguous.
So I've made that mistake in the past and it only screws over town. So I'm making my hard claim for town, not any neutral or TP shenanigans.
To be honest, I'm more suspicious of those right now who were advocating for nolynch but then decided they might as well get someone who isn't Irish because... reasons I stated above?
