By Jane Caro, published 18/3/2010

Richard Dawkins - a strident man? 'Strident' is a word reserved for silencing those impudent enough to challenge the status quo.

Thanks Jane Caro, I can now embrace "strident" and wear the epithet with pride, now that men are being called strident.

Gotta love irony.

Strident atheists are rude about the Pope's red Gucci slippers.

Strident believers kill people.

From another OLO article today...

'In recent weeks both the Murdoch and the Fairfax/Rural Press media interests have made strident attacks on the ABC.'

A disappointing essay. I would have liked to have been there and I was looking forward to reading what Richard Dawkins or some of the others had to say, but alas, nothing. Perhaps a follow up article instead of this piece of trivia. (Other less generous ajectives also come to mind)

Point taken, however Caro's article more than balances out the waffle written by Rowan Forster. At least Caro's opinion has a basis in fact.

Sometimes the religious bias on OLO makes claims about the ABC bias appear very slight indeed. Where is Peter Sellick these days anyway?
