Obviously helen is just my first name irl. Although since I chose that name for myself just a few years ago, how that happened is probably a story in itself.

My email addy is a sort of cross between "queenie" and (motorbike) rider.

Plus, I really wanted to underline my gender status, especially as I'm aware I have a very male persona so I wanted no confusions. Such things matter to me more than they should.

Am I the sarcastic dystopian misanthrope I appear on this site ? Sadly yes, mostly I am...and worse. Some people have felt that rough edge on here too, but generally I need a lot more provocation here than I do in reality, mostly I keep that part of me back.

It's funny how several people have said they feel more considered and intelligent here. I wish. Compared to some people here I feel ignorant and stupid: Worse, a lot of the time they have the opportunity to prove it.

keep to the Fen Causeway
