Your bids are forcing, your preempts are what most would consider normal, not crazy.

Do you have wifi or just edge/3g on the bus?
I think I'd bid 4♠ at the table. I have some doubts if it makes much sense.

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

On the other end of the spectrum...
I'd pass and consider that to be quite normal.

possible calls look to be Pass, 3♣, 3♦,2♠. Clearly pass is the straight and narrow call while 3♣ is a psyche. 3♦ makes it harder for the opps to find ♣ but you can only make this call if you are playing RONF, 2♠ while it is your suit do you really want a ♠ lead and of the other 2 suits ♣ is easier to bid because ♥will be available to the partner on the same level.

pass, but 3♦ has some appeal.

Pass?
If 2S would be NF, I would bid 2S, but you said 2S is forcing.
2S may play better than 2D, but are you sure, that 3S plays
better than 2D?
with kind regards

I'm all for bidding a non-forcing 2♠, but no way would I dig myself an even bigger hole by making a forcing bid and praying partner has some degree of spade support.
