PZ Myers came out with his book recently, “The Happy Atheist”.
Did Richard Dawkins endorse it? Did Jerry Coyne endorse it? Did Sam Harris endorse it? Look at the endorsements at Amazon for the Happy Atheist.
Did they so much as make an obligatory internet post saying, “great book”. How about a 1 line tweet? How about Massimo Pigliucci saying in effect: good riddance, PZ.
Dawkins used to hang out at PZ’s website a lot, and it was there Dawkins made the comment that made Elevatorgate explosive. Haven’t seen Richard paying anymore visits to PZ.
Dawkins’ new book will be coming out September about Dawkins favorite topic — himself. Will PZ promote Dawkins book? We’ll see…

2. PZ Myers pro-feminist “freethoughtblogs” have been a fortress from which shots have been taken at fellow atheists Michael Shermer, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Lawrence Krauss (the “establishment atheists”). Now that even Shermer and Krauss’ personal life was fair game for PZ’s enclave of feminist atheists (FAs), will the FAs start giving Dawkins the same treatment? Consider
A. Dawkins defends the idea of having a mistress and lying about it
B. the FAs already fired off a rumor about Dawkins
