I feel vindicated. I've been calling Dawkins a self-absorbed shit heel for twenty years. Only good for people who were already questioning religion to rally around and echo their well-actually views.

For a skeptic, he failed at considering the context of anything he already agreed with. Hard not to be a sex offender when going to the bathroom, wearing the 'wrong' clothes and, in some cases, existing is considered an offense.
