For starters, let me be open and frank about this. I have been the worst of otaku; the kind just about everyone (let alone FuKu) despises. I have done things that, if you knew me then, would make you laugh as your skin crawled and, if you know me now, would make you think "I thought he was cool."

The running toll is that I have been banned from 2 cons by administrative action, 1 con gave me a one-year ban, 1 con is unconfirmed, and 1 con is less of an administrative ban and more of a social mandate of "don't show your face around here". And the icing on the cake? One of the cons even took me through the courts so as to get a restraining order. Shall I begin with the comedy gold, then?
