Question

Any fond memories of Arthur C Clarke now he's passed away?

Answer 1

Abhorrent paedophile

Answer 2

Is that right?

Great SciFi writer!

They all backed down when AC challenged them !

Some people love to believe filth more than truth!

Answer 3

All I know about him is that a few years back there were allegations of paedophilia against the man. Dont know if they were ever proven. Why do you think he spent so much time in Sri Lanka.

There you go, I suggest you read this link before heaping the praise too much on him.

Answer 5

Thanks Proper Gander, I forgot how c**p TV was back in the 80s.  I'll be having nightmares about that skull tonight!!!!

Answer 6

Am going to agree with Dave S on this one!!

If it wasnt for his self confessed paedophilia i would have mourned the loss of a great man probably!

Answer 7

Yes I heard these allegations re children.

They have been circulating for years.

If that is what he is supposed to have said I am glad he's off this planet.

Answer 9

Yeah!
