If you hold those statements to be true... then you are not fit to judge the intelligence of either of them.

Should we bookmark all of this for future reference, btw? Y'know... for when you disapprove of the sexual partner(s) of PZ Myers and/or you offer yourself to him and he turns you down? Because when that happens, you seem to instantly gain a self-proclaimed air of authority. Judge, jury and boiler of wabbits.

...read that first sentence again. And again. And again. Until it finally registers.

Because (apparently) it still hasn't:-

You think he might have fucking learnt the first time that that is not how to manage your PR, and not how to manage an organisation devoted to "reason and science". Idiot.

I'll only reiterate that Dawkins' harsh words about not corresponding with me came BEFORE the next little spate of emails in this screenshot:

Image

You ever consider that maybe he's grown so used to having illiterates for critics, and being admired by intelligent young atheists, that he just has a hard time dealing with harsh criticism from the latter group?

Especially if I happened to be a young woman whom, despite his expedient restraint, he'd made it obvious that he wanted to shag:

Image

Whom he plainly wanted to shag, despite having already experienced the sharp edge of my tongue in all its harshness, I might add.

My criticism of him started years ago - long before I knew of his affairs or decided they mattered. And nor did I bite my tongue even after this restrained come-on from Richard. My criticisms have only become sharper in resolution and clarity as time's gone on. This is the truth. Eat it.
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Is that a picture of a man with an enormous cock?

Or do I state the blindingly bloody obvious?

As Roy Walker used to say in Catchphrase - "Say what you see".

So, yeah, "man with giant cock". I'm sure Pappa had good reasons for posting it. Quoting me, too. Which was strange. I'm happily average in the trouser snake department. So it must have been his own signature. Which is way too big.

LP, it seems really important to you that RD would want to shag you.

You are very concerned with the concept of "conflict of interest" when it applies to other people, but you consider yourself exempt. Which makes you seem like a hypocrite.

Hades - it is important to me insofar as it makes specious Dawkins' and Red Celt's imagined impression of me as mad, demented, jilted suitor, whom Dawkins has only ever wanted to rid himself of. 

If it were so important to me otherwise, I would have already belaboured it, without the provocation.

You read "you are occasionally very charming" and your mind said "restrained come-on". And you've kept it since 2011.

I'm filing you away (along with Seth and Tyrannical) amongst the forum "characters". Saves me the bother of actually trying to engage with you as an actual multi-dimensional person.

The implication is that my VALENTINE MESSAGE is very charming. Not merely charming - VERY charming. He was "touched" by it. Would you like him to show you where on the doll?

To me that message and the others you have posted just look like Dawkins being polite and nothing more.

That's not what you said when I showed you the emails in Glasgow. Especially since sex was joked at in my message to him…

And he wasn't obligated to respond, or say that he found it touching or charming.

Well reading them now when I'm not under the influence of alcohol and have more time to look at them they look like he's being polite.
Heather I have nothing against you and I consider you my friend which is why I am being honest with you. I think you should take a little break from this and come back when you aren't so emotionally involved in it. I am worried this is taking a big toll on you.

It wouldn't be taking any such toll on me were I not hitting back at silly slurs. 

There are more emails. I'm not posting them all. Can't be fucked. 

Oh and as for keeping emails, that's how web email works. Magic.
