For someone so quick to jump on the perceived use of insult and mockery, you're very quick to do it yourself, you did it with the 'even a brain dead rock' comment too.
I try hard to limit my insults and mockery to responses, maybe I don't always succeed, maybe I shouldn't use it at all. I also don't try to find unknown, stupid, harmless atheists and ridicule them, but I consider people like Dawkins and Krauss to be fair game.

Dawkins refuses to debate WLC because he feels that to do so would give what WLC has to say an undeserved credibility.
I'm aware of his obvious rationalizing.
Quote:
I think that if Dawkins refuses to engage because he can see that WLC is the better philosopher, then maybe he's not such a lame brain after all.
I agree he's smart to avoid WLC, but that then raises the question of his honesty.
