He delivered his talk with elegance and class, unwavering and undetectable on concessions. Full throttle when in control and finishes opponents with paralyzingly wicked blows. You wouldn't want to be on the receptor of those phantom punches. The sarcasm and wit is the only consolation to dowse the heat. I don't know if I want to be like him which he wouldn't like it anyway, I'm sure he would love for me to be a better open thinker! Cheers Mr Hitchens!
I looked up to Mr. Hitchens as a brave, outspoken atheist/secular humanist--someone whom I should like to emulate in that regard, had I otherwise the practical ability in terms of familial and other ties.
Mr. Hitchens' writing was always incisive and precise. Since learning of his illness, I always knew that I should find myself shocked and grieved on the day I should read about his death.
Mr. Hitchens' death was more upsetting to me than I personally had anticipated. Even though I didn't know him personally, I cried when I heard that he had passed away; the news of his death left me with feelings of disbelief and regret for the loss of such a bright light in the atheist/secular humanist community.
I shall miss Mr. Hitchens immensely in terms of the intellectual stimulation his writing provided to modern life generally and to secular society specifically. Personally, in the past six months I've missed, and shall continue to miss, his incisive commentary. His writings are something I've historically tended to turn to at times of intellectual despair and dark nights of the soul.
His legacy shall live on in the recorded and written form.
Christopher had a gigantic intellect and insatiable hunger for truth, logic and reason. All antagonist's were fodder for his masterful debating skills and command of language.
The human species has lost one of it's ever too few real thinkers.
It will take me the rest of my life to appreciate Mr. Hitchens.
I only saw pieces of his speeches, but he was utterly brilliant.
I wish I could have corresponded with him in spite of my being the "American Commoner" that I am.
As a hardcore Christian I came to know Christopher when he debated Christian Apologetic Frank Turek. I'm sorry that he has passed. Wish I could have had the honor of speaking with him before his untimely death... I sincerely appreciate his willingness to debate with Frank Turek and hope that more lively and educational debates about the existence of God occur in the future so that people can hear and consider both sides and then come to their own conclusions... Christopher IS missed and WILL remembered.
An arsenal of words - unique - one of a kind.
You will be missed.

Christopher,s bow and arrow,a lexicon was his bow,the words therein his arrows,fired with deadly accuricy and devastating affect.

I couldn't always agree with him, but it was hard to resist idolizing a man so great. Redundantly, I miss him.
The man gave me my freedom.
