Anybody else a fan ? My favourite polemicist which I would love to hear his thoughts on the society if he were alive today . Certainly someone I look up to with how he conducted himself and his ability to artculate his thoughts. |

What an articulate guy he was. His shows with Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins are superb. |

"To have never read a quality article in a proper newspaper by hitchens seems unusual, that's all!"
That's not unusual at all.
Neither have I.
I'm well aware of the four Horsemen and seen enough of their beligerant, narcissistic, bullying and ignorant approach to anyone who dared to disagree with them that I lost interest in whatever point it was they were trying to put forward.
So I don't find it shocking at all. |

Wowzers.
I'd suggest that debate is not bullying. If, during a debate, one side of the argument appears to be without merit then that hardly qualifies as bullying.
As for ignorance and belligerence, well, when one side of the argument is suggesting that human rights must be curtailed in order to keep their imaginary male, misogynistic, hateful friend happy... I'd become fairly belligerent too. 
True ignorance is destroying the beauty of the garden to keep the fairies happy.  |
