Quote:Dawkins was almost certainly aware of this, and the reason it caused such a fuss is that it did a damn good job of covering almost every angle.
That is where I disagree, it did not. It had some serious flaws in it and like with the bible, if you can't rely on the data given in the book to be accurate, what is preventing us from dismissing the book in its entirety?
Quote:In regards to the forum shutdown, it was a mess. Absolutely. But, he realised it was wrong, handled badly, he reacted poorly and he said so explicitly, and apologised publically.
He apologized for the shutdown yes, not for what he pulled 2 years prior to that by dumping the vets forum. He never apologized to the people warning him about Josh, he never aplogized to people like LP who got cold shouldered because she asked too many embarrising questions about the foundation.
It is not the lack of respect for him I find puzzling, its rather that I still have any respect for him at all.
