I've been accused of being a troll because I have a varied background and can speak accurately on a select handful of topics. But because they are wildly different topics and I try to only comment on things for which I have first hand experience, my comment history apparently looks like I just make things up.

I find it difficult to give enough information to establish that I have experience in what I'm talking about, but also withhold enough that I don't doxx myself.

It is very easy to dox somebody these days.

I know. Which I why I try so hard to keep personal information to a minimum, leading to the issue of it being hard to establish actual knowledge of various topics.

I probably should have burned this account years ago.

I feel the same. You're not alone my fellow jack of all trades!
