I came across this letter from Dr Dawkins here he is so reasonable I didn't recognise him at first and so he continues to the very last line . Anyone remember the scene from League Of Gentlemen in which the mayor is coached to make a speech without swearing? Reminds me of that...

to me he seems to be trying to stifle a laugh all the way through - what about this for tongue in cheek "Unfortunately for him as a would-be spokesman for the Royal Society, Michael Reiss is also an ordained minister. To call for his resignation on those grounds, as several Nobel-prize-winning Fellows are now doing, comes a little too close to a witch-hunt for my squeamish taste." "witch hunt...squeamish taste" ROFL
