Pluto: A small, inadequate misfit

Isn't it enough that we took away Pluto's status as a planet? Do we have to resort to name calling and kicking it when it's down?

I was reading this article today from a link on Google News and came across this quote from astronomer Dava Sobel.

Referring to Pluto: "Adults relate to its inadequacy, it's marginal existence as a misfit."

Kind of harsh isn't it?
