Better yet, I predict yet _another_ thrilling DQ since you repeatedly violate the formatting rules:

If I may, **Ellen Cherry** , **Sparky812** meant no disrespect to **JohnT** , MJ was infamous for calling comments about his lifestyle “ignorant”, which just made him seem sillier.

Good Catch, **anyrose**!

Also, the special rule excluding Michael Jackson was to avoid a conch, which would serve no purpose in this game, and therefore anything but silly.😃

Perhaps, but your intended victim missed it and so did I. Avoid this in the future, please.

Thank you, thank you …

I thought I’d do well, but wasn’t expecting to do quite _this_ well. Looks like the block voting by the Boomers outweighed the more scattered voting by the young 'uns.

Very fun feud – thanks, **Chock** – and, as always, thanks, **Rebo** for running it.

Isn’t this golf rules? Low score wins?

I appologize if anyone’s used that joke before.

I imagine this happens a lot, but this was my first time and as soon as I posted I went back and looked at so many obvious answers that I should have used but totally missed, like Waren Zevon or Freddy Mercury.
