"So. You attack the argument not someone who is not "there" to argue. Dawkins already stated he had handled the arguments made by Gould."

Gould was a major part of Bradley's argument, and bringing it up again is not ad hominem. By your logic, if someone levels accusations at you based on the claims of one or more other people, you aren't allowed to reiterate your disagreements with and refutations of the these earlier claims because the people who made them did not write the article. This is insane.

No, that wasn't, but his attack stating that Gould did not read his book was, and was unnecessary.

No. That was a strawman.
