You're correct in that an inactive lynch is better than a no lynch, but that doesn't say much, since a no-lynch is almost unarguably the worst play you can make during the first half of the game. It's not like cop is going to out in the first couple of days, and it's not like the mafia kill is going to impact the towns ability to discern mafia all that much. All no lynching does is waste a day. So, in that aspect, you're correct.
Lynching an inactive is still terrible since mafia require absolutely no effort to fake it and it doesn't provide anything on the morrow. Last resort should be saladrushing an active nuisance. But in days like this, a last resort isn't necessary. (Obviously.)
Dad, I encourage you to stick to the pillow bunny lynch - I'm not going to read too hard into Tom since he's shrouded in a complete haze of insincerity which hurts both his credibility and my ability to read him. I've skimmed him but not read him in depth and his play reminds me of what I remember from last game - once again though, I haven't checked. I'm just playing this off memory.
I'm likely to read into him more during the night phase or tomorrow. Likely tomorrow. I don't think he's bad enough to have provided enough distinct content that solidifies him as red at this point, so I'm going to wait until I have enough to cross-reference and discover whether or not his thought pattern makes sense, if that makes sense. And I'm not saying that you're wrong when you say that in a meta sense he seems red to you, you've played with him a lot more than I have, so you'd know his game better. But from what I can see I haven't noticed a difference yet.
Although, I do think that Tom's method of playing is hazardous to town and that he should learn how to enjoy the game
without terminating people perceived as 'intolerable'.

EBWOP Sorry dad for making you read heaps when you have a migraine.
