Does some stupid things - but on the other hand most of the stupid things you hear about have been invented or blown out of proportion by opponents. Saying a rivals book is a bit shit may be stupid behaviour if you are trying to portray a certain image. On the other hand if you just want to be brutally frank, if your goals are not 'diplomatic', then why not? I think Dawkins is a bit like the EU.
