That's what I get for trying to tackle the rhetorical/philosophical angles; I'm danged if I do and danged if I don't.

Never feel like it is you if I come off as confusing. I am confusing. I am on the autism spectrum so have an excuse. When I was younger I was just anti-social.
My emotional state is in a box a couple of rooms away from wherever I am so we aren't really on speaking terms. I have deleted a lot of posts after spending ages writing them because they were just...awkward? Offensive? Idiosyncratic?

A really bad childhood prepared me to always expect the worst. It has advantages and disadvantages.
