So. @Richard_Dawkins was never actually Richard Dawkins. That makes sense. Shame I got duped into thinking it was. A small and ultimately pointless stunt, but annoying nevertheless. Makes you remember to always check your sources, I guess. Perhaps we need a Twitter salute (context)?
So. I was amazed to find @Richard_Dawkins on Twitter. I was even more amazed to find that he had engaged with it in the same way as the rest of us (telling us what he had for dinner the other night, for example). To find that he’s been hacked (or had a nervous breakdown, but I assume hacked) this morning, only a few days after starting out, is a real shame (if no great surprise).
Where next? Try again, or retire hurt?
I know he’s on a book run at the moment and so his current high visibility is a function of marketing rather than public interest it is still very soothing to a rabid atheist like myself to see such positive coverage of Richard Dawkins’ position on God.
