I heard about him having a stroke cause everyone thought the Church of England were trolling him on Twitter.

Happy to hear the stroke is minor, hope he recovers quickly, he's my favourite public intellectual along with Sam Harris

Meh, I don't like his intellectualism that much: He advocates for a kind of atheïsm that is dogmatic to the point that it in itself is religious in it's rejection of religion.

He's a great biologist though.

Dawkins is best understood as a victim of his own Twitter account.

Couldn't you say this of everyone with a Twitter account?

Nonsense, Twitter is immensely entertaining, and your audience is essentially self-selecting.  Certain advantages over online forums :p
