I think this speaks to an appreciable percentage in the hobby that tend to be quite "Sheldon Cooper*"-ish and probably operate somewhere in the Autism spectrum. You only have to go to a big train show to see it in action.
Your assertions about my post may be true of your experience, but not of mine. See this is the problem with social media. I told you this was about my experience, but you assert yours in an attempt to undermine what I know is true for me. Then you go on and make a broad brushed statement about those on the autism spectrum in our hobby. I'll tell you what, I know a few people on the spectrum...Happy to know them and have them participate in the hobby.
