You were worried about it becoming a Shasta-show after around 3 hours of the new day. What's happened since then has nothing to do with how odd your comments were then.
I say you're behaving strangely; you say you're behaving rationally. The two are not mutually exclusive: of course it's perfectly rational to vote for your top suspect. But to do it in light of an interesting developing situation (the Shasta debate) so early on
is a bit strange.
And I'm not refusing anything. I dealt with the issue that's number one on my priority list; now I've already moved on to my next suspect (which you should probably have noticed by now
)
