OK Chill, pull up a chair, remove the cork from your bottle and pass it my way. I actually have time tonight instead of trying to read 4 pages of posts 1 hr before night fall like last game.
My initial vote on JM was because his posts stood out like a sore thumb in the midst of the joking around we were doing.
After I got home from work yesterday, I read the posts and like I said found JP's and Zaffy's grilling him to be more unsettling than his posts.
Early in D1 I never have anything solid to vote anyone for, but like to make sure, as I posted before, that I don't UD. (By signing up to play I take it as giving my word to all who signed up that I will play and participate to the best of my ability.) JM's posts were the most noticeable thing at that point in time.
I also remember a few games back where I started with "I came to kick but and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum." -Roddy Piper, They Live. It almost got me lynched taking that serious tone, I was innocent.
I don't feel comfortable voting to lynch someone because they want to root out scum. I realize that JM has played before and should have expected that kind of response that early in the game but I didn't feel comfortable with my vote on him for that reason alone. I also didn't like that there were 4 on him and 1 on JP at the time if memory serves, and many other's had expressed concern about him as well. Not knowing where their votes would fall it looked like we could have had a landslide lynch where we would learn nothing from the voting patterns.
Does that explain it to you clearly enough?
