For the record, Robin deleted the post shortly after posting it.
Yes, as is shown in Gia’s caricature of his behaviour.
You just forgot to mention it at the time. Funny that!
It's an example of the thing you said was made up. Whether he deleted it or posted it, it shows a mean/nasty side to Ince that's there when people even mildly criticise him.

Errr...Tristan did mention that he deleted it...

Ok, here’s an example. This post by Ince was in response to an article by O’Malley that disagreed with an article Ince had written about Just Stop Oil.
In O’Malley’s article he goes out of his way to pay tribute to his Ince influenced him as a critical thinker and sceptic. But he disagrees with him on JSO which is enough for Ince to post to his followers that he’s a hack, far right and worthy of a place in the DSM,
before deleting it.

Fair enough.

I’m looking forward to Monkey Cage without Ince. It will be an infinitely more tolerable listen without his unfunny interjections.

Is it going to continue?

He initially liked this vile reply by Kaiser of Crisps and deleted his like after being called out on it. He says he didn’t read it properly, but I don’t see how you can miss what was said on even a cursory reading of it. I think it’s much more likely he was shamed into removing the like when called out.

I'm so bored with people using 'I didn't read it properly' as an excuse. Or 'I didn't realise they were a vile human being'.

To add…I don’t see why it shouldn’t.
All Ince added was shouty, unfunny interjections to the interesting bits.
I reckon someone out there could do a better job. Preferably a female comedian/commentator. Or just make it a rotating chair.

I’m not inclined to take Ricky Gervais’ word on this one, especially as he included a few clips of himself arguably bullying Robin as a special feature on one of his DVDs - can’t remember which one as I haven’t watched it in years.
However there is other evidence as shown above, and I do think Robin hasn’t exactly covered himself in glory in a few of these incidents. I seldom laughed at the jokes he made in Infinite Monkey Cage mainly because he always seemed to want to drag it off topic - the guest comedians were normally much funnier while staying on topic.

Yup. In fact, so were many of the experts. He made it rather smug. Especially the joke* about Brian Cox
*There might have been two jokes
