This is one of those "should I or shouldn't I respond?" type of responses. As you can see, I voted "should." But after a bit of thought.
I definitely like and respect you, but I can't say I've ever really "clicked" with you in any sort of in-person type gathering, or even in an online RP setting. I guess it could be my fault for not really having much interesting to say, or having much in common beyond the circles and themes we both hang out in.
At the very least, you're not one of those "and others whose names escape me" type people to me, because I do know you. In fact, at AC, every time I saw you and passed you by I was thinking, "Damn, I really should stop and say hi or something," but I always stopped myself because I just don't know what to say to you beyond "hello." I suck at small talk when there's not much in common to talk about. :)
So, at the very least, I apologize for not being very social with you during Anthrocon. It's definitely not because I didn't want to. It's because I didn't know how to.
