Well, Weyoun,
you were the one telling the story. If you end it on a note that puts you in a distinctly bad light, you shouldn't be surprised or upset when someone like TheConfessors sees it that way.
If all these explanatory details were too distracting from the main point about the bad ruling on the question, you could have left out the line about walking out on the bill and avoided this controversy.

I guess I don't see it as a controversy - this happened many years ago, and I'm hardly worried about someone's internet stamp of approval on something that is pretty small potatoes and in any regard can't be undone.
I do, however, find it amusing that some people need to interject their opinion anyway.

Posting something here is an implicit invitation for replies.
It's not always predictable what part of a post people will reply to, either. I hear that thread hijacking have occurred, from time to time.

Why, when most of mine are lovely masterpieces celebrating the beautiful creatures known as squirrels?

The answer to "4. What is the stage name of Darius Rucker?" is wrong. He's said many times over that he's not "Hootie"; a friend of his had that nickname.

Similarly, "The Blowfish" is not a plural name for the other members of the band. It is the (singular) nickname of another one of their college buddies. The band is just named after 2 guys.

I'm still upset Darius didn't work Tripp into the name of the band!

That was the answer that was given, and that was the answer that we gave, even though I believe someone (probably TheSearchIsOn) commented about this.
