I agree w/Storkdok. In fact, I find his use of autistic in this case to be denigrating in the extreme. Why on earth can’t these people actually *think* about the words they are writing before they put them out there where they can’t be taken back?!

Why couldn’t he have written the article without using the autism/autistic references? He makes a good point about not using posts as rewards, finding the best people to do the job, but does he have to use autism/autistic to make that point?
