Is There a Monologue in Astrophysics?

I don't think Neil deGrasse Tyson is a crank or an engoramous. He might sometimes find it difficult to sift the good and worthwhile signal of valid criticism from the noise of critical insults. Whatever the case, I just do not understand the point of an overtly hostile tone For example, I found this article a blog postrilly from a historian of science admittedly not an astrophysicist Not a mathematician apparently links in the description. Perhaps this particular historian does wonderful work I don't know but I'm disinclined to read anything else He has written just because well, it's a put-off to read that Dr. DeGrasse Tyson says what he thinks.
