Hitchens' signature behavior

[DiskoVilante]

So he smelt nice?

Oh yes, better than Tobias even.

Hence my use of the word "unnecessary".

There you have it. Hitchen's boorishness is clearly necessary, too. Well, er, ... yeah, I'm stickin' to that story.

I didn't clap

And I saw at least two people get up and leave.

I clapped when he made a good point. And I clapped when Dikkers made a good point.
And then I clapped when John Rennie (I think?) uttered one of the best oneliners of the entire TAM.

There were also moments when I didn't clap. And instances when I didn't raise my hand when many others did (like when they asked who was libertarian).

In the end, seeing the response Hitchens got, I think it's safe to say he's a good one to keep bringing back to TAM. At least he's not afraid to forego the PC attitude and say it like it is. Which was also the essence of his presentation.
