is making an introduction thread required to make a new thread in the other forums? that seems to be it, only I don't see anywhere that says it's a requirement...but I'd like to make a thread so I thought I'd try making an introduction here.

I'm not one to make introuction threads when I join a forum. I think it's a waste of time. if anyone cares to get to know me, after reading my posts, they can talk to me. otherwise, it doesn't matter.

I'm just not one for small talk, on the internet or off. I like to get straight to the point. if it comes off as rude, I'm sorry, I don't mean it that way.

so, hi, I'm rottingteeth. I'm young and I have no special knowledge of philosophy, only an intense interest. I have a strong desire to understand, and an open mind. if you care to know anything else, feel free to ask; otherwise, let's get to discussing.
