+
+My favorite way to communicate is face to face, and that's the primary reason I use electronic communications, is to make plans to spend time with people in real life.
+
+Exchanging information is also a decent use of communicating online. Having friends to share knowledge with is a helpful aspect of knowing people and making allies. Many of my travels are made better by having insight from others who have been there before, even if they are not physically with me at the time.
+
+Much other than that is a lower priority. I do not enjoy small talk, idle chatter, or exhanging pleasantries. I am not and should not be used as a form of entertainment. I value my time, it is very precious to me, and if there is not something explicitly that I can help you with, and we are not planning anything, then the conversation will likely fade.
+
+I absolutely detest "check-ins". Asking me how I am, where I am, what I'm doing, etc will be politely ignored. If you are in a fear-based mindset, that is not my responsibility to help bring you out of.
