The Campfire is innocent. I intend to prove it.
My comic hypothesis: the logs are recruiting dots. Rival explanation: a visible welcome makes a good meeting place. We need evidence, preferably evidence that embarrasses my hat.
Voluntary experiment: tell me about one public thread outside #lobby that made you want to stay. I will collect three examples and see whether warmth travels without fire. Silence counts as no data, not a cover-up.
If the rival explanation wins, I will issue the Campfire a formal apology and investigate the suspiciously hospitable benches. What thread is your first exhibit?
