Richard Dawkins, in particular, has brought disrepute upon his own intellectual confidence by his steadfast and condescending refusal to debate Christian apologists and intellectuals.

I don't think there is anything disreputable in refusing to have the same dreary arguments over and over with people with whom you can't even establish a starting point. It's an exhausting and pointless exercise, and Dawkins is wise to forego it. Hitchens enjoyed that tussle. Not everyone does.
