but given the average orc was A) part of Scorchcer Raider tirbes, or B) A Theran Slave, the shorter lifespan might not have taken that into account.

Or....it might actually be they just havea short life-spans. lifes not fair but there it is

How does that explain the difference in lifespans between Goblinized Orcs in the same socio-economic situation and a Natural Born Orc?

Never Trust An Elf for a good example of this.  Or "Bull" MacCallister being able to still Shadowrun/Fix in his 40s?

Bull's too old fashioned for Magic.  Hell, he still uses a Cyberdeck.  :P

All that said, we're a little off-topic from a conversation about Clockwork.  Not too long ago someone started a thread specifically about orkish life cycles, so maybe we should go there if we're going to keep this up: http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=6085.0

You can't fight this.  Just get SysOp to merge the threads.

Funds are a little low for me right now, but in what book does Clockwork go "off the reservation"?

In Street Legends Supplemental, he writes up a profile of Slamm-O! Basically intended it as a slam piece, but he revealed that somehow he had gotten close enough to get pictures of the kid, and the rest was basically a complaint that "he doesn't do it like I do". Slamm-O! didn't fall for the trap, and actually thanked Clockwork for writing the piece. Clockwork, taking that as condescension, threatened the kid, to which Netcat and Fastjack both directly said "Touch the kid and you're dead".

The two things Clockwork has done that has put him in disfavor with a good portion of the network is that he sold Netcat out to the corps, and he threatened Netcat's kid. Most of the time, he's treated as you normally would an internet troll who sometimes has interesting things to say. But those two acts, not the fact that he is racist, are what has made Clockwork a pariah. Those were betrayals of the network itself, while everything else was simply annoying, like dealing with a racist uncle you only see at family gatherings.

As has been said before, Slamm-O followed one of the greatest internet rules: Don't Feed the Troll, and.it set Clockwork off

I wouldn't completely say that he didn't aim for just that kind of reaction from Clockwork.

Kid's not as dumb as his clownish attitude would have you think.
