Say what you will about this man -- yes, he may be getting increasingly obnoxious in his old age, taking arguing logic to nonsensical extremes, but he certainly knew how to cut through B.S. when he heard it.
Well played, Richard. Well played.

OP
mr blur
(7,753 posts)1. I don't think he's getting obnoxious although I munderstand that it suits certain people
(not you, obviously) to portray him like that.
Perhaps his real problem his his willingness to debate these people as if they had something intelligent to say.

(5,330 posts)4. I was merely referring to some of his recent dust-ups on Twitter.
Playing devil's advocate, arguing minority viewpoints, getting people riled up, etc.
Perhaps I should have put "nonsensical extremes" in quotes.
I find it all quite entertaining myself.

Dawkins must be completely exhausted from dealing with these people by now. Don't you love it when Conder says, "That's a very good question." Sheesh.
