	== Hello, and welcome ==
	*I respond to ], Floq, Flo, FB, Flow, any other nickname you can think of (as long as it's not rude), or even "hey you", as long as I know from context you're talking to me.
	*I don't go around correcting people when they guess wrong (hardly their fault), but I'm a "he".
	*I'm easy to get along with (at least in real life), so please give me any ''constructive'' criticism you want; I'm aware that I'm imperfect, and usually quite willing to admit it and apologize when I screw up.
	*I try my best to turn the other cheek, but I'm evidently ''not'' so great getting ''unconstructive'' criticism, particularly when my good faith is questioned, or if I think I'm being patronized.
	*I instinctively side with the underdog, so I tend to react poorly when I see other people (particularly newbies) bullied or patronized. I'm not convinced that's a defect, but I'm trying to make more of an effort in not going immediately into attack mode.
	*Sock declaration: ], ], and ] are me. As is future ] ].
	*FWIW, I used to have another account before Floquenbeam, but abandoned it; so I've been here longer than it looks.
	*I was on the ] from 1 January 2014 until 29 July 2014, but couldn't hack it.

	2017-present: You know, it's taken many decades, and I've shamefully looked the other way most of those decades, but the last few months have made even a white, male, old dog like me maybe 20% woke. Fuck the NFL. CTE. Blackmailing cities for stadia. Crawling over one another to hire rapists. Blackballing Colin Kaepernick. Fuck every single person associated with the ownership of this league. I have no illusions that this matters to anyone, but I'm trying to improve my karma by boycotting the NFL this year. MLB may not be much better, but it's got to be ''incrementally better'', right?. Wish I could turn to NCAA football instead, but ... Jesus, it's just horrible, horrible people every way you turn. --] (]) 00:30, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
