This is absolute bollocks, and is basically the media / religiously pushed caricature of who he is and what he does. Just because he doesn't dress up his opinions with flowers, it doesn't mean his intention is to inflame.
In amongst his recent work are books aimed at children and people with less scientific knowledge, such as
the greatest show on earth, or
the magic of reality.
He's an absolute genius in his field, and will go down in history as one. When people comment on his area of expertise, he should have no compunction to treat his opponents with respect.
