Yep. That's right. He hardly knew
her. As you can tell from his work,
she made no impression on him at
all. (IOW, what a total f . . .ing idiot
you are.)

. . . . With that long list of great authors
brought up in illiterate households -- that
you could not be bothered to write out
last time?

You will never produce it -- since you can't.
Writers do not emerge from illiterate
households -- for rather obvious reasons.
Strats -- tied to their insane theory -- are
obliged to claim that their man was an
exception -- and exception to almost every
rule that governs human existence.

The Stratman had very little contact
with any kind of education, as you can
see from his signatures, his children,
and his general behaviour.

Any fool can see from the texts that
they were written for a highly educated
audience by a highly educated poet.
Most people are aware (at some level)
that, at the time, only one class qualified.

Nope. It's a recognition of reality.
Most people appreciate the value of
education and many go to enormous
trouble to see that their children get
the best possible. Even Stratfordians
know this -- except when they are
lost in their childish fantasy.
