The early 00s crop of skeptics can essentially be split into two camps, those who were skeptics out of a sense of genuine conviction and those who went along with it, because it was the liberal position at the time. People like Dawkins can be put into the first camp, the second camp is people like Dillahunty, Myers, etc.

Matt Dillahunty and PZ Myers are two of the most annoying people.

Both of them were desperate to ride the coattails of Dawkins, Dennet, Hitchens and Harris, but I suspect when it comes to Myers he’s just not clever enough to make it in Dawkins’ academic footsteps and Dillahunty didn’t know how to deal with his new found fame and adoring fans and so threw his lot in with Atheism+.

It’s a shame, the early days of Dillahunty’s show were entertaining and informative, as were the early days of Pharyngula (before the Thunderf00t incident, which was hilarious).
