I've been quasi-lurking around here for some time, and decided it's time I finally signed in. Hello, everyone!

For the introduction ... Well, I've liked scifi since I grew out of the fantasy age (mostly), and I've taken some part in the VS debate subculture (nothing major, though). I like a broad range of authors, films, TV series, comics, RPGs, CRPGs, and even some manga/anime, so I suppose that's pretty diverse. The "major" universes I'm best familiar with are Star Trek, Stargate, WH40k, and SW (including EU).

(SW used to be my favorite before the prequels and especially the cartoon series. Now, I hate it and buy nothing new from the franchise.)

In real life, I'm European, but more American in my religion, politics, habits and general outlook. I have no college degrees in either astrophysics, military history, literary studies or whatever -- just a happy amateur with perhaps too much spare time on my hands.;) Hope I'll still be able to contribute something to the community ...

That depends on what part of Europe really.

The worst possible thing he could have said was "I am English but more French in my religion, politics, habits and general outlook".

But if that was the case he would never have lived long enough in the first place.

WTF does "more American in my religion, politics, habits and general outlook" mean anyway?.

So going in order we have a TV evangelist (religion), corrupt (politics), overwieght (habits), warmongering redneck (general outlook) joining us..?.

Welcome to the board buddy you will fit right in!!..:D.

A belated welcome to the forum. What forums or other venue did you get involved in the Versus debates on? I noticed in your discussion in the "Other Websites" section with Nowhereman that you seem to have a fairly extensive knowledge of the "Who's Who" of Versus-dom, so you may be being a bit too modest in your describing your level of participation.

I've mostly just lurked around in the shadows at divers and sundry places, including the old ASVS group, though I got there only late. I've read much more than I've written, which is how I've picked up various odds and ends. My comparatively few original contributions were... Well, they could've been better, and usually were not well received -- which was in turn the reason for their scarcity. Of course, back then I was what you'd call a giant Warsie wanker, and even less scientifically literate than nowadays, so I more or less got what I deserved.

Anyways. Thanks for the welcome.:)

I'm slightly underweight, actually, despite copious amounts of popcorn, chips, fastfood and otherwise stereotypically bad American-style eating habits. Good genes, I guess.. or else diabetes in the works.

Otherwise, your description fits me to a tee.;)

You're welcome!

A 'giant Warsie wanker', eh? Did you always go by the nick 'General Donner'? Given how the Warsies operated back then and now, I'd have thought you'd be sung praises from on high for wanking up SW tech. But that's in the past as they say. I hope to see you contributing frequently here, especially if you are a reasoned debater, be it pro-Wars or Trek, or other.

Oh come on, your fics aren't that bad. I mean, they're not like the works of Hans Von Hozel, or the dreadfully bad "War" (which was probably taken down).

Oh, hello Donner (yeah, I know, I'm late).

Starglider recently joined us btw.
Sounds Starwarsish to me. Good thing! We need more SW!
