Dawkins loses humanist title

[Anomalocaris]

Looks to me like we have two parties in the right on this one.   The aha doesn't want to be associated with that rhetoric, and dawkins knew as much.  

Like sungula said - it's their club, their prize.  Similarly, dawkins mouth, his call.

So AHA is to stand for statements of fact being considered no better or more unimpeachable than mere rhetoric, and the right kind of rhetoric should rightly be considered to trump the wrong kind of facts?    

Prizes from an organization demonstrating such a view besmirches the recipient, especially if the recipient is a scientist.   Taking their prizes back does the scientist recipient a big favor.
