Are you (David, that is) on the autistic spectrum? I'd be inclined just to put something minimal on the lines of "I am on the autistic spectrum, and if I come over as extremely blunt please forgive me. Please take me as you find me, and take my posts for the constructive criticism they are meant to be". I'm borderline on the spectrum myself, and yes it can make life difficult with people who don't know you ... Cheers, Wol
