Re: Why does everybody in the world play tag?

_“What with the torrent of discouraging stories that’ve come pouring out since the Harvey Weinstein news broke, one might argue there’s a lot of male humans out there who could stand to play another million rounds of Simon Says.”_

There may be two strikes against me for: 1) creating a new thread just to attempt a feeble witticism, and 2) finding fault with Cecil’s choices.

Be that as it may, the present inquisition seems to be a backlash against “Simon” saying anything. IMO, Cecil would’ve done better to suggest that miscreants re-familiarize themselves with “Mother May I”.
