[QUOTE="ParanoydStyle, post: 7778901, member: 6984451"] Hi. As a rule, once I have fully expressed my opinion on something, if that topic is REMOTELY controversial or even controversy adjacent, I do NOT return to that thread. See, one trait of my neuroatypical brain is that I tend to state things eloquently but very, very forcefully. Another is that I have a very severe general anxiety disorder. This causes a cycle where I express a strongly worded opinion, and then have terrible fits of anxiety along the lines of "oh no, what if someone on the internet might be mad at me" which is something I *should* give 0 f**ks about, but I CAN'T HELP giving nonzero f**ks about because of my glitched brain chemistry, and it becomes very difficult for me to revisit the thread. The fact that I was (justifiably) fired from writing for Shadowrun for something I posted on a forum has certainly not helped with how gun-shy I am about this. I think I've heard some people call this "fire and forget" posting? I understand it might be frustrating for people who want to debate me, but it's the most mentally healthy way for me to interact with internet forums and, besides that, I really don't have time to argue with people on the internet anyway. I thought I would explain this here because I am sure people have seen me post strongly worded arguments in threads I then never returned to and thought "What's this guy's fraggin' problem?". Well, the combination of severe anxiety disorder and strong opinions. That's my problem. ANNNNYYYYWAY: Reading up, I see that I have not aggroed anyone (yet) and breathe a sigh of relief. I am making a very rare exception here for a very specific reason. It is NOT because I care about Shadowrun so much (although, sadly, I do). It is because it has come to my attention that multiple persons apparently thought I was Caine Hazen. I have nothing whatsoever against Caine Hazen, but I am not he. I am not really sure how anyone thought I was anyone but me considering my rather conspicuous signature, but...whatever. Just wanted to address that particular case of mistaken identity promptly.
