I am aware of when he died, having had brief correspondence with him during 1993 while living in France and being a new fan of his work at the time. I did notice when he passed.
But the reason I mention this (other than the blatant but cool name drop) is because pulling your
Logic Dictates card just there exemplifies your problem in this thread. You seem to be posting from a position where
other people's
other attitudes and experiences and knowledges and understandings are irrelevant or just non existent. Like there, you assumed I wasn't aware of when someone died,
whom I had just quoted. Just as you apparently aren't aware or don't care that people voted Leave for more and better reasons than the ones
you insist must have motivated them. You don't even seem interested in hearing about that, as in you didn't even read this thread before jumping in with both feet, insults and implicit accusations.
Absurd.
