It seems that he is not above personal smears towards anyone he disagrees with, and he was influential in starting the atheism+ movement, which was really just a collection of "social justice warriors" that have more in common with Tumblr than free-thought. They are quick to ban and ridicule any dissenting opinion and think that all atheists should conform to their monolithic mindset. I remember reading a quote where he called any atheist against atheism+ an asshole, but I couldn't find it.
I realize none of this is probably the smoking gun you were looking for, but I don't have the patience to parse through his bullshit to find the real gems. If you're still skeptical but want more, I suggest reading some of his words on social justice and feminism especially or even go to the atheism plus forum if you dare.
