1. On TV: The Genius of Charles Darwin: Presented by Richard Dawkins

Hi CruciEfiction, as i know your youtube account was titled,

I'm really sorry to hear that this happened to your account, i enjoyed your video's.
I don't think Mr Dawkins would have anything to do with, though the thought of him looking through youtube video's to find copyrighted and blocking their accounts seems strangely entertaining, i guess only because it sounds rediculous.
That sayd, i've 'known' you for quite a while and i'm convinced you can smile at that 'idea' too as i believe and hope you share that sentiment.

I fully agree that a polite (or even unpolite) order to remove that particular vid (or any other copyright problematic video's) would have been a much more elegant solution, but i must admit i am a layman wrt to this and for all i know youtube has only one way of going about such issues.
I do think the EUA is quite clear.

I admire your ability to remain perfectly courtious and promotive (?) of the, indeed excelent, series in question.
I sincerely and passionately hope this problem can be solved in a way that is pleasing to all.

I would certainly miss your presence on youtube, and i think you are very very mistaken about one thing "which now turns out to be for naught"

One just needs to read post 553 for evidence this is certainly not the case.

I'm sure we'll see from you again,

Kind regards,

I know it does not make a difference but i had to send myword@foxnews.com an email, maybe not your view but i'd like to share it with you all and maybe kickoff a 'nice' emailstorm of the much feared 'angry' atheists like yourself.
Regards,
Martijn

Dear reader,

It looks to me like foxnews has is not doing well on the "creating unbiased and neutral news" front.

Exactly who are the 'angry atheists (John Gibson, Friday, December 22, 2006)', it all seems in the 'ear' of the beholder.

Especially John Kasich's interview of Brian Flemming is full of prejudiced questions. If anyone looks angry in that particular interview, it has to be JohnK, because it is certainly not Brian who despite the tone and acusations of the interviewer manages to stay very friendly and patient.

Can i kindly ask the John's to stop taking 21century facts as 'attacks by angry atheists' and learn to seperate fact from fiction, it's really refreshing.

The 'branding' of the atheists as being angry should really only be done when a large majority of the atheists actually are angry, so with foxnews so persistant in this i would like to see the investigations/reports/polls with the used critera of these that justify foxnew's doing so.

Kind regards,

Martijn Teunisse
