I was slow off the mark noticing this aspect of
the debate, but I'm glad to see
this apology from Jim P. Houston to Jerry Coyne. Let's avoid any anger or acrimony about it all here, if we can - I mainly just want to draw people's attention to it. It's obviously entirely up to Jerry how he responds to it, but FWIW I think it's a good outcome. It's a pity we don't see more apologies from people who have gone too far in their rhetoric.
Not much of an apology when he says he is still right about everything. He also uses the argument from authority.
