In terms of this particular ng I sometimes muse not so much over who are somewhere on the autistic spectrum, but over who are not......

The belligerence that is so obvious here resembles the kind of atmosphere you find on autistic spectrum forums, except that what you get there is an awareness of the condition and a desire to do something positive about it.

Obviously I'm not speaking about anybody in particular, just an overall impression. There's a lot of it about in smart people.

ROTFL !!! Polish that mirror.

You are hallucinating again. No belligerence
here, just different cultures. All your onctuous
preaching boils down to one thing, and one
thing only: you want everybody to comply
with your pretentious pedantic British
cultural norms.

Classical Anglo Saxon hypocrisy.

Of course.

Examples? I have been accused of many
things, however being "right wing" is not
one of them .

I did not "come through" Silly Valley. I
just happen to work there for a while.

Silly Valley is a cultural wasteland. What
else can one expect from a bunch of
computer engineers, lawyers, MBAs
and VCs?

Don't assume people like the places
where they live. I would move out in
3 seconds if I could make a living
anywhere else.

I counted 9 YouTube entries discussing how the Codex Sinaiticus is fraudulent.

Fair enough. Include the info in your
discussion. Whether fraudulent or
genuine, Codex Sinaiticus is/was
a major topic of research and of
debate.

I take no sides in this argument. I
just think it is interesting from a
historical and intellectual POV.
