Unlikely that I'll be continuing it though because of the 20% of board members that took offense to it, most of which were not even a "target" of the Wall (many of those posters, including the ones who were most prominently featured actually laughed and enjoyed it or just did not care).
The vocal minority essentially succeeded in wet blanketing what was intended as a bit of self-depricating fun, so good for them.
And they've dragged their witch hunt into every conversation I've participated since just to be jerks to me, so that's been great.

I would be happy if it was discontinued, but I wish you would take less a victim mentality about this and more of what you already described as a kind of self-reflective opportunity. You're a valued member of this board, but the WOS wasn't a great idea. Live and learn type thing.
Self-deprecation is dependent on the 'self', to use a nebulous concept. This isn't that as the community has responded negatively, even if it isn't the majority. And maybe some of us bring up the WOS as a general negative rather than trying to be jerks on a witch-hunt. Maybe some of us think this a bad idea regardless of you as a poster.
Frankly I find the majority of what you post is fantastic, and I mostly agree with your takes. It's nice to have another positive voice throughout the GTs, even if I might disagree with your assessment of people that dislike the recent Dr. Strange film.
