You're correct. One has to have a sense of proportion as well. Harris often talks about that, but this is one area in which he has no sense of it (and I'm a huge Harris fan, and supporter). I recently bought a book by Krauss. It's as good now as it was 5 months ago before the accusations came to light.

Dawkins has a history of misogyny. He's a douchebag, which is a real shame because I admire his intellect.

There are some great guys in atheism. And some not so great ones.. This article is a long read, but it's interesting:

I was unsure what to make of Krauss when that shit went down. Then, a lot of other professors came out saying they were surprised he didn’t get fired sooner for his behavior. So, fuck him. We don’t need someone like that as a spokesperson for Atheists. Same with David Silverman.

I think I'll leave the law to deal with Lawrence Krauss. So many people refuse to enjoy good artists - writers like James Joyce, poets like Dylan Thomas, movie-makers like Woody Allen, and of course Krauss with his wonderful book A Universe From Nothing. The singer/songwriter James Taylor once quipped in concert that 'it pays us not to know each other too well'. I accept their art separate from their personal lives.
