Another very polite, British smack down.

only listened to half of this, but not really a fair fight

Fry (who would make a wonderful ironic Godfather) is too awesome to take on

if it was a fair fight it might have been only in text

but then he would still be wonderful


I don't think people were taking him seriously, but he certainly was speaking on behalf of History and challenging Holy Mother Church

In the Slog comments was the link to the rest of the debate and the other speakers.  None so eloquent as Mr Frye, though.
