Actually, the ironic thing is that you think I am referring to
you. I forgot about you immediately.
Several years ago I inadvertently insulted a newsgroup participant
in another group. We had a brief exchange of e-mails, I offered
an apology and then the "line went dead" - no responses to further
e-mails, no follow-ups to my posts following up on his posts -
absolutely no willingness to acknowledge my existence.

Nevertheless, I haven't given up entirely. Every once in a while I
leave a little piece of "bread crust" lying on the ground hoping to
"fish" a response (awful mixed metaphor!) Obviously you mistook
one of these attempts to reestablish communication with a lost
"friend" as having to do with you.

Right... Which is why, while referring to your friend as he, you used the
term "girl"...
You're full of ***, David.

when the fact of the matter is that most autistic people are
actually smarter than most.

That's not really true. My "lost friend" understands the concepts of
puns and word-play more generally. The puns he offers are sometimes
so very bad... - but this doesn't make him a bad person. It also doesn't
make him William Shakespeare.

One personal anecdote /= proof.
