Oh, that post! I had to edit that one before posting, because what I wanted to say was 'I've caught myself checking my work emails to make sure they don't sound wolfish'.

But "to check they're not emails from the pack" didn't even cross my mind! I meant "to see if incoming emails strike me as wolfish".

I have also given my son a very suspicious look when it seemed like he was deliberately mis-hearing me. Wolf! Woooolf!

This assumes that with one vote on me, I was suddenly terrified and saw clearly that I was up against the wall. Nope! My actual response was an excited giggle and "ooh, I got a vote!".

Oh come on! I was very clear who my primary suspects were, once I had some (which I think was by my second post) . I feel like people want me to a) explain my reasoning less and b) Yell "X is a wolf!" rather than saying "I find X most suspicious", but... why though? Unsupported accusations aren't going to show other people why someone is a wolf, and as for b), those are plainly synonyms.

I get that my posts were over-long (I worked hard on reducing them in the latter parts of Day 2), but I don't understand this non-committal thing at all. How many people posted lists with three or four (or more) categories to let them 'vaguely suspect' people...?
