I'll second your comments that Fry was excellent.
I think both Goldberg and Dyson almost looked at this debate as part of their civic duty to attack Peterson. I agree, he wasn't the right person for this debate if only because he distracted the other participants.
However, I am not sure what exactly Dyson hoped to accomplish when he referred to Peterson as an "Angry white man", other than to agitate Peterson and attempt to de-legitimize his opinions. His entire facade seemed to rest on Peterson not being a member of a certain group or trying to pull a hierarchy of victimhood - Black slaves were worse off than Greek slaves. Telling Peterson he should go to a Black Church group or Aboriginal reserve.
