  1. After Cristina Rad’s accusations about #LawrenceKrauss I was happy to reject him for good even though I'd enjoyed his debates on religion.

    But I never knew what to do with #RichardDawkins. Certainly people I respected in turn respected him, his work seemed quite perceptive, and his debates with theists were incisive and civil.

    But he also behaved in ways I found bizarre, and I was left just appreciating his good work but not amplifying him in any way because I didn’t know who I would have been amplifying.

    Now I do.
