Welcome to RpgWatch Mr Spock
There's a reason he's my favorite Trek character - as I find him extremely relatable
Same goes for Sherlock Holmes and Saga from Broen (though she's a little different).

He use too many words, too many comments about everything, too big exhibition, to be called Mr Spock.
It's the perfect recipe for a total Charlie Foxtrot on the Watch.
Nah I'm more partial to …..

I've never said I don't have emotions or that I'm beyond their influence. It's actually BECAUSE I'm a very sensitive person that I've had to suppress my emotions to this extent - or I'd literally break down.
I'm specifically talking about bias and about the ability to remain (reasonably) objective during an exchange, because my emotions aren't a big part of it.
But I'm also compulsive in terms of seeking closure. That's not because I'm emotionally invested in the topic - but in about reaching some kind of understanding with the people that are a part of the exchange.
It's a form of OCD - which I suffer from, to a relatively mild degree.
I won't go into the deeper psychological aspects of obsession and compulsion - but think of it like this:
You leave your home - and you suddenly question whether you left the door unlocked or not.
OCD is when you start obsessing over it - and you start going back multiple times to make absolutely sure. It's irrational.
Obviously, you're not "emotionally invested" in the door lock - but you're still invested in figuring out what's true.
For me, leaving an exchange that's unresolved (which is NOT about people agreeing with me in any way, shape or form - but about closure) - is almost EXACTLY like leaving home feeling like I might have left the door unlocked.
I guess you could call it a mental investment - and a very significant one at that. It's a disorder - which is why people who don't have it don't understand it. It's probably why you think I must be emotionally invested - because that's the only way my actions make sense to you.
Of course, at the root of OCD and any form of anxiety is unresolved emotional trauma (mild or severe) - often from the distant past. But that's another matter.
Eventually, my mind is exhausted with the waste - and, most of all, it's just extremely time consuming and utterly, utterly worthless if you look at the time versus reward equation.
Most people don't seem to invest themselves as deeply in articulating the finer points of games or whatever the topic may be. They seem content to just fire off a few remarks here and there - and be done with it.
Most exchanges around here seem to be highly cyclical - based on ego-driven desires to "win" or be "right" - and it's rare that long exchanges deal with people trying to understand each other - and make room for differences. As in, actually listening to each other.
I'm guilty of that myself, for sure.
The reason I've returned isn't actually that I've missed it all that much. It's that I want to overcome this obsession - and I'm getting better at it all the time.
Call it an experiment in self-improvement
I've actually managed to overcome anxiety in the same way. Through what the professionals call exposure and response prevention.
So, that's the explanation.
@Darth Tagnan;, but if you choose to leave and then return once again, talk to me. I have an excellent idea (from my childhood, and maybe yours too) for your next Avatar pic, an Avatar which is also related to D'artagnan theme. Seriously, I mean it..If you were to leave for good, I think we would be at loss of quality here in these forums.
I got around to reading a part of the article (I gave up at some point) and what I got from it is that he isn’t aroused enough by V to maturbate on, which is the fault of SJWs.
I find it's men who have a largely theoretical relationship with women that tend to insist upon these airbrushed, pneumatic, bedroom-poster females.
Yeah but I beat both of you as I posted first on the forums.

Apparently most members don't read the forums. Just the front-page news.
Probably do and doesn't surprise me.Alternative hypothesis: They have you on their ignore list.
