Reaction to the Quotelets was fast and fierce when I started them a few months back. Recently though, the participation has petered out and I can’t help but think it’s because I’d never conceeded defeat.

First a World Series title, now this!
You have my permission to explain it. As you can tell by the picture that sparked the defeat, I have thick skin.
Alright you filthy bastard – you’re famous. Let’s hope people are inspired to participate more frequently now that they stand a chance of removing your ugly mug from the site.
