Conveniently so since no one could tell if you are just making this up.

If you think, by contrast, that you have not been having interesting, genuine conversations with people during your time here and that you are not able to perceive stuff and not able to evaluate what is going on and your relationships with people, then that is something for you to ponder.

Well, I am not a child. I am a grown up. And I am not autistic. And I am not intellectually disabled. And I don't drink alcohol when read posts and when I post myself. So I am not impaired in any way. So I can understand the dynamics of a debate and a discussion, and its contributors, on an online forum. I can understand what people say and what they mean.
Are you able to ascertain from your interactions in this community whether anyone finds what you say to be true and interesting? I can. Can you?

- people tell you that you are a boring irritant
- people tell FMF that he is interesting and they engage with him in the forums
