If my name didn't sound like it was invented by a troll would I be more accepted.

My style is my style and I would probably still just drop into threads to add a comment and book. I go back and check "my posts" to see if I get a reply, then answer back.

I don't think I've ever had too many back and forth conversations here.

On occasion I'll get into a barn burner with someone, but they get fewer all the time, it seems...

Or start using a new phrase like "derp" all the time.
I have no idea what that means, but I've seen quite a few people use it here.

I didn't think I'd been all that truculent of late, but the proof is in the transparency page, or so it's said.

And, as always, if you don't see this post, your skin is thinner than mine!

You realize you will have to start out as a newbie, and, well, newbies have a hard time of it.

But why don't you try it and let us know how it goes?
