A history of harassment? I would love to see your source for that if you are indeed suggesting it. If he had a history of harassment with them, why did they THANK HIM in the ending credits?

I never said that it was in the article, PZ explains exactly what happened in this interview with Richard Dawkins as they recount what happened. Sorry, no full text for me to quote from, you're gonna have to watch it:

'Discussion on PZ Myers being expelled from Expelled' by Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers - RichardDawkins.net

You see I've been following the story since PZ posted it from an Apple store during the show. However, that is PZ's side of the story, there is in fact an official (and demonstrably bull****) explanation for his removal.

Quote:
"Yes, I turned Mr. Myers away. He was not an invited guest of Premise Media. This was a private screening of an unfinished film. I could have let him in, just as I invited Michael Shermer to a screening in Nashville. Shermer is in the film as well. But, in light of Myers’ untruthful blogging about ‘Expelled’ I decided it was better to have him wait until April 18 and pay to see the film. Others, notable others, were permitted to see the film. At a private screening it’s my call. Unlike the Darwinist establishment, we expell [sic] no one."
He regards dissenting opinions from a BIOLOGY PROFESSOR regarding this movie as "Untruthful blogging."
