I am not a 'social' troper - this is very much a hobby for me, and though I enjoy it and will often converse about it, I don't talk much about myself on here and am prone to "disappearances" now and then. If you are genuinely interested in getting to know me and how I'm doing, message me and we'll see from there.

Keep in mind that while I am happy to discuss my views and opinions when relevant, I dislike "debate" - a mass majority of them are initiated with the intent to convert and "win", rather than listen and understand.<ref>In particular, I refer the idea that both sides ''CAN'' be in the wrong does not mean they are equally so has, ironically, become a new springboard for bad faith arguments that are designed to obfuscate and frustrate what were previously straightforward discussions. There's a difference between seeking the truth and setting back critical thinking a good couple of centuries.</ref>
