Excuse me for giving the impression of a pedant, but do you mean Clarke, as in Arthur C., there? I've been trying since I first read your comment to puzzle out to whom by that name you could possibly be referring in this context, and it's only just dawned on me to wonder if you simply have not bothered to learn the spelling of the name you intended to mention.
- n4r9 2y agoYes, that Clarke. Sorry for putting you to the extra effort. I spelled it correctly in the initial post you replied to. Guess I assumed that people would spot the back-reference.

In entire fairness, I was distracted by you having said he and his contemporaries must all have been autistic, as if either you yourself were remotely competent to embark upon any such determination, or as though it would in some way indict their work if they were. I'm sure you would never in a million years dare utter "the R-slur" in public, though I would guess that in private the violation of taboo is thrilling. That's fine as far as it goes, but you really should not expect to get away with pretending you can just say "autistic" to mean the same thing and have no one notice, you blatantly obvious bigot.
