It felt so disingenuous that it almost made my skin crawl.

After that moment, I unsubscribed.


It's one thing to not talk about it at all. They had addressed it a few episodes previously, and even though I disagreed, at least they were fair enough to mention it. The episode after that was back to normal, so I thought things would just be as they were.

But this feigned ignorance, this "Oh, did something happen?" mentality didn't sit well with me.

Please tell me why I'm being childish. I dare you

Don't worry. Compared to Dawkins, these people are "Nobodies". Dawkins will be fondly remembered long after these people are forgotten.
