      Yesterday, I joined the chorus of voices criticizing Neil deGrasse Tyson for an interview he did. Many of the things I said were unfair.

      In particular, I took a quote from the interview out of context and presented it in a way that made him out to say something he hadn't said.

      He does have a problem with getting basic facts wrong in biology, *but* that's not the same as him never listening to other scientists.

      Curious. What is your best example of me getting something wrong in biology?

      You may have corrected the record, but your statements about painful sex from last year, documented by @pzmyershttp://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2016/03/17/some-days-its-very-hard-to-defend-neil-degrasse-tyson/ …

      Was referencing a case where both partners would experience pain at the same time. No one has yet come forth with an example.

          Uh-oh. But several people pointed out that pleasure wasn't necessarily a driving force. Sex in many species is a compulsion, not a choice.
