Target might be a weird description, the point is Jeff came to the conclusion that Barry is sus for bjpenning his first TRAP and Barrys response was not to say Jeff was full of shit, or talking back to him in any capacity, but instantly claiming. If this was somebody less erratic than Barry I'd say it looks a bit like someone who got caught with his pants down. It also throws me for a spin cause I felt Jeff is scum and Barry is town, but this reaction of his could suggest otherwise.
To clarify I'm not disputing you here, I'm just trying to get on the same page and explore all sides of things.
The "trap" which apparently snared me was a decoy for the reaction test which Jeff then caught Barry out with on Barry's lack of input or vote on a garbage case when announcing he wanted to push me. Would you agree with this?
Jeff isn't stupid - he knows that anyone jumping onto a garbage case looks bad and avoiding it looks better. The non-chalant nod was weird, but to paraphrase yourself Tweet, CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME. I think that the nod is a red herring, not suspicious enough to draw a lynch but enough to pressure and draw attention, allowing Barry & Jeff to distance from each other.
I get where you're coming from previously when you said Barry is playing his town meta thus far and I agreed up until Barry hasn't interacted with Jeff at all over the push. I personally think town Barry pushes back on Jeff there and joins the wagon forming around Jeff as opposed to completely ignoring him, throwing out a unpressured claim and disappearing.
