Getting it together TO BE EDITED

Introductions tend to be extremely boring.  There's so much of the same--I like this, I dislike that, I live here, I work there.  I have [X amount of] kids and [X amount of] dogs/cats/turtles. You pick.  Online, you can be anyone.  Introductions and get-to-know-you spiels aren't necessarily reliable.  The only way to be truly sure of a stranger online is to judge them by their writing, their thoughts.  You don't need to know where I went to elementary school or what my favorite color is.  You'll most likely never meet me, never even be within a hundred miles of me.  All you need to know about me is what I choose to share with you.  

My accuracy, my reasoning, my consistency; these are the things that you will--and should--judge me by.  The color of my hair or the brand of clothing I prefer does not--should not--matter to you.
