Maybe when this world is no longer burning, and Vladimir Putin is no longer calling all the shots in the current White House (because a decent human being is sitting there instead of Purest Evil), I'll feel like gaming again.

Please understand that I do not accept hate, racism, bigotry or doxing on any level or in any form from anyone wishing to be, or to remain, my Steam friend. If I share my NAME, full (recent) photo or any personal info during private communications, it's due to my trust and respect for you. I therefore respectfully ask that no one take advantage of that trust.

I graciously suggest that everyone try to appreciate that I'm old enough to have seen "legal" segregation firsthand as a small child in America's deep south, and it scarred me. As a result, the two most important concepts in all of my world are JUSTICE and EQUALITY, but I try not to beat anyone on Steam over the head with them. (Should I ever do so, please correct me. I will thank you.)

I'm 100% LIBERAL, and I don't intend to change as long as the opposite choice is to embrace hate, racism, hostility and violence directed toward innocent people. Freedom only exists if it frees EVERYONE unconditionally, and harms no one. (FYI, we Democrats are not Satanists, and we don't eat babies.)

I've always felt that it's normal, and even healthy to use gaming as a distraction from the pain and injustice of real life. However, it seems that many people on Steam use gaming as a REPLACEMENT for real life, and that is neither normal nor healthy. If you are such a person, please consider strongly why you might want to be my Steam friend.

Thank you most sincerely for your understanding, and for all genuine friendship.
