That I was able to know his name without even knowing what was the video (I was behind a firewall which blocked youtube) should tell you that he has become pretty famous in the "internet famous" sense. The description was a giveaway and I remembered the video in question.
There's absolutely no need to be condescending... That description (which you quoted) was genuinely funny to me because I know who he is.
- dr_zoidberg 10y agoI wasn't being condescending, but you said: > I like how the author of this piece talk about Sir Martyn Poliakoff. > But the article predates his knighthood. (and presumably youtube fame) And there were no mentions to Sir Poliakoff around, neither in the article nor the video. Still, it was interesting reading about him, and he surely has become an internet celebrity, but that doesn't change that your comment was out of place to begin with.
