I measure people by their conviction, intellect, and humanity. I cannot fault him in either. Really then - this is tall poppy syndrome at its best (or is that worst?). What's wrong with someone who actually BACKS their own ideas? Dawkins is not a fool. He knows what he is saying is polarizing. Why not give the guy a break for not bothering to care about being "well liked" - which sadly seems to have become the currency of social media. The man's a public intellectual for God's sake.
