Would you be willing to accept the bulk of the blame for this post?

I see nothing particularly wrong with these off-topic postings,
provided they adhere
to the supreme aesthetic principle that wit transcends the ego of the
intended target.
As it stands, the level of the on-topic posts will have to be
correspondingly elevated
to offset the off-topic posts, this one included, with my apologies.
