Skeptics I no longer have any respect for.

It was the blasphemy that upset him. I'm not arguing the technicality of it being his private business, nor the fact that it's bigoted. Of course it's ridiculous in a moral sense for him to act that way just because he disagrees, but it's also more than a bit stupid for people to NOT understand that he would be offended by what he saw at the conference when those are his deeply held beliefs. I don't care what your judgment of his beliefs are - he should be accorded the same respect that ANYONE who says "Okay, I believe something different, I acted badly but changed it and apologized," should be. Telling him he HAS to think something different, or crucifying him for his beliefs, makes PZ no different from the Christians who try to vilify us for our lack of it, in my opinion.
