Well, I'm not so sure. However, the use of the term scapegoat does not apply to our member here, imo, but to the woman in front, as she was selected to receive the blame for who knows what Ohlostme is going through.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Main Entry: 1scape·goat
Pronunciation: 'skAp-"gOt
Function: noun
Etymology: 1scape; intended as translation of Hebrew 'azAzEl (probably name of a demon), as if 'Ez 'OzEl goat that departs--Leviticus 16:8(Authorized Version)
1 : a goat upon whose head are symbolically placed the sins of the people after which he is sent into the wilderness in the biblical ceremony for Yom Kippur
2 a : one that bears the blame for others[b] b : one that is the object of irrational hostility

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

IMO, HER anger was not irrational, she had been verbally assaulted, imo. Our member ((((ohlostme))) is the one who displayed irrationality, imo.
