Greetings everyone.
I'm an occasional lurker here who finally decided to make an account (the word 'lurker' incidentally, not recognised as a word, which is interesting. Keeps wanting to be changed to 'larker') and attempt to maybe engage with something other than a historical curiosity or my overly large Lego collection. The aforementioned reservations are due to a quirk of mental disability. I have autism, more specifically Asperger's Syndrome (professionally diagnosed and everything) which brought along with it a severe social anxiety issue that has driven me off forums in the past. Not because of any hostility, mind you, simply on account of the ambient anxiety all social interactions cause me.
On a more positive note (I'm not morose, but I play it on the internet!) a few years have passed and I'm ready to take another stab at engaging with the virtual world and have chosen this forum due to my love of writing and the general atmosphere. Feel no need to tread on eggshells (I actually prefer outright hostility to ambiguity) and if I start ranting about philosophical observations on human nature and the failings of modern society just give me a slight prod and point out that I'm doing it.
With deepest regrets (and my great displeasure at the inability of text to properly convey humorous tone)
