Rebecca Watson’s disgusting conduct – she is unfit to be on the SGU (Skeptics’ Guide To The Universe) Panel

She was very clearly bragging about being hit on. She was called out on it, and rather than apologising gracefully, she dug her heels in.
The other panelists at SGU, for whom I once had great respect, are victims of groupthink. Listen to their circle jerk here.

I don’t understand your claim that Rebecca ‘disrespected’ Richard. She disagreed with him. Her point was that she felt he was no longer on her side, so she wasn’t going to be on his. She didn’t call for a boycott of his books. She just said that she personally wasn’t going to buy or recommend them.
I don’t understand how this is a mark of disrespect. You’re certainly disrespecting Rebecca when you call her ugly and wilfully misrepresent what she said.
