Responds: "On Being Accused"


He was accused a few days ago, but did not respond to media questions. Mistake #1.

The first accuser though he was creepy after asking for a photo at a conference.
The second was a Production Assistant who he met for wine & cheese on her last day. She felt uncomfortable and he apologized.
Third was a fellow grad student he briefly dated 30 years ago, who now claims he raped her. False memories or psycho.

Last one is similar to what happened to Kavanough. All men should have denounced that witch-hunt. No sympathy for liberals who are getting screwed by #metoo!

A colleague at a well attended, after-conference, social gathering came up to me to ask for a photograph. She was wearing a sleeveless dress with a tattooed solar system extending up her arm. And while I don’t explicitly remember searching for Pluto at the top of her shoulder, it is surely something I would have done in that situation. As we all know, I have professional history with the demotion of Pluto, which had occurred officially just three years earlier. So whether people include it or not in their tattoos is of great interest to me. I was reported to have “groped” her by searching “up her dress”, when this was simply a search under the covered part of her shoulder of the sleeveless dress.

I'm sure he's glad to have your support Satan.

Do you think I'm Satan?
It's important to not use your real name in these un-liberal times.

Satan hates most things

All he said was: I love Uranus.

BWAAHAHAHA - good one!

I don't like Tyson. I think he's an overrated, pompous, bloated ego. But I also think these accusations that have been made against him are probably just BS.
