→Dawkins apologizes three years later for Elevatorgate comment, but later says he said nothing wrong and that he is being muzzled by thought police
{{cquote|I seriously want to know if Ophelia Benson still thinks that calling to the boycott of Dawkins’ books is managing “disagreement ethically, like reasonable adults”. I want to know if she still condones the way '''Rebecca Watson''' [http://phawrongula.wikia.com/wiki/Attacks_on_Stef_McGraw bullied] '''Stef McGraw''' and got her to shut down her blog. What part of that is not “trying to destroy the other”? Remember Michael Payton, whose job was put at jeopardy just because Benson and her pals [http://freethoughtblogs.com/zinniajones/files/2012/08/payton-1.png couldn’t figure out a tweet] and thought he had a different opinion? That’s pretty destroying, if you ask me.<ref>[http://www.skepticink.com/avant-garde/2014/07/27/ophelia-benson/ The Ophelia Benson canard], Posted by Ðavid A. Osorio S on Jul 27, 2014 </ref>}}

On August 6, 2014, three years after Elevatorgate, without mentioning Rebecca Watson's name, Richard Dawkins issued a one sentence apology for his Elevatorgate comments. He posted the apology near the bottom of one of his blog posts.<ref>[https://richarddawkins.net/2014/08/who-is-belittling-what/ Who is “belittling” what?] by Richard Dawkins</ref> In response, Rebecca Watson wrote in Twitter post: "Richard Dawkins did the blog-equivalent of coughing into his hand while mumbling "sorry" to me. Eh I'll take it."<ref>[https://twitter.com/rebeccawatson/status/497087309805027328 Rebecca Watson's Twitter post about Dawkins' apology]</ref>
