Dawkins' reaction to the reception of memes always seems to come off to me as "Oh, someone took that seriously? Okay, then." The real prime offenders are Blackmore and Dennett. Admittedly, Dennett's formulations are probably the most sensible of the ones I've seen, though it's really grating because you can be right in the middle of a great piece he's written and then, all of a sudden...memes, memes, memes!
