The egg would only have found the face if you had vouched the other way.
Most faces thought 'egged' are in fact clean. I believe all that the 'eggs' asked for was more solid evidence before the insults etc. What transpired was a positive vocal identification by a trusted member. Ultimately the requests of the 'eggs' was fulfilled...
sadly, just as I grabbed my pitchfork in preparation for a good old fashioned lynching, things got locked down and people ejected....
Still, give it time eh...
A lynching is only satisfying when ya KNOW have the right guy.
