That is what it says,
“Yikes. What he failed to take into account was that there are lots of people out there who take Jesus’ birthday very seriously. Not long after that, he got hit with a hate-storm of comments, accusing him of being anti-Christian. Though all Tyson wanted to do was share a bit of info he thought the public was unaware of, he simply showed his ignorance of how passionate people are about their religious holidays.”
but you are right on your last sentence. That was bad phrasing on my part, I should’ve said that the author loses credibility, not the article. Also, it’s not trolling to tell the fucking truth. So you’re not allowed to talk about Isaac Newton on Christmas Day anymore because it will offend assholes on Twitter? His point wasn’t to “troll” Christian snowflakes. The word troll is so overused. He was obviously just celebrating a figure that he respects more than the figure that Christmas celebrates. I guess that makes you a troll and a bully now. What a joke.
