I see it differently. I have no problem with the provocation, intentional or otherwise and rather enjoy the cranks exposing their intolerance, ignorance and general idiocy. I also don't think it is Dawkins' (or anyone else's) responsibility to consider the sensitivities of those who will vigorously disagree regardless of tone. I can't ignore the fact that these same people are usually foaming at the mouth while telling people (including other believers of a slightly different flavor) they will burn forever in hell or tells a woman who makes the agonizing choice to have an abortion that she is a murderer.
I can't abide these hypersenstive professional offense takers and their woefully mispaced howls of persecution. If something anybody says serves to twist their panties, all the better.
