There were a number of things on which I did not see eye to eye with Hitch. He could also be very arrogant, and abrasive, which did not always help people keep an open mind ot the things he was saying.
However he was often very good at whittling down an argument to its most succinct points, and then stating them bluntly and with no apologies to those who might take offense.
Gotta love that about him.
