I think it is clear you disagree, or perhaps not, I think you said you liked him because he did just that - like the 'in your face gay activists' or something like that? Well when you're one of the people who's face those people are in, it gives you a different perspective.... |
Michael, I missed you!! Nice post, but too many long words*.
Dor, you may be right about radicals destroying and rebuilding culture. Don't forget, this is a phenomenon (d'oh!) that can be constructive, as well as creepy. In and of itself it's not necessarily something that needs to be obliterated (double d'oh!)
Of course your 'face' has a different perspective, and I don't begrude you that. I simply can't stand by idly and allow slanderous remarks about My Man Dawkins to propagate unchallenged (don't worry, Danger Man likes him, too.) If you disagree with him or find him dangerous, I completely support your saying so. But if you make statements and pronounce judgements on him based on third-hand or absent info, then I must body-block you. Figuratively speaking, of course.
