One upvote for using the word scapegoat correctly, six downvotes for cluttering the thread.
Also, if you're going to ask a chatty question, it's distasteful to say "I'll go first", especially when you are doing so in the body of the question.
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoWell, at least downvoting the scapegoats put them at the bottom so they don't reall clutter the thread. Now that down-votes are capped at -4 I didn't know how many would be needed to make sure people had something appropriate to down-vote should they choose to play. It appears no one did. I'm disappointed that the idea didn't work. I didn't really expect it to, but it's a shame when low expectations are lived down to. With regards the "I'll go first," the idea was to try to set the tone by giving a few examples, and possibly inspire people who read it to go "ooh, that reminds me ..." In short, I don't think it is distasteful, but I'll take your comment as a data point for the future. Thanks for taking the time.
