Atheist Richard Dawkins wanted to know why a UK railroad’s internet service wasn’t allowing his video to be viewed:
It's OK @RichardDawkins – I screenshotted your tweet for posterity, so that it can be used to educate the gullible. pic.twitter.com/ETSPvQoPPU

Dawkins and his video weren’t being singled out in any way:
Senile old goat complains his video lecture has been BLOCKED by a micro-ISP that blocks … all videos. CENSORSHIP! https://t.co/qKo3VnRMah

Dawkins, who deleted the tweet, later apologized for the censorship accusation:
My apologies to Cross Country Rail. They restrict access to YouTube for sensiblr bandwidth reason. Must curb my tendency to paranoia!

That was a more sincere apology than the one he offered to women who don’t abort babies with Down syndrome.
Dawkins wasn’t about to be let off the hook without some reminders:
I understand reading fine print is hard at your age, @RichardDawkins, but the last sentence of that notice DOES say they block all videos.

You're not being too harsh, @Popehat. @RichardDawkins belittles people for doing exactly what he just did. Like this: pic.twitter.com/pYtaJp8kzU
