(1) because it is being urgently requested from many supportive organizations

and individuals.

(2) because it is the consensus of a wide variety of people, =ho may all be wrong while you are right, that saying nothing when =ccused of at this level.. not a single complaint by a single =ndividual, but a comprehensive story in a tabloid magazine, appears =antamount to admitting guilt.

(3) because =hat is in the letter is true.

(4) because =ltimately I have to live with myself and Nancy and I have to feel we =ere a team in this (very important).

at =his point, it appears that the firestorm is subsiding somewhat, and =aybe even a lot. It also appears that the haters may have =xhausted themselves with yelling and other people are actually getting =urned off and beginning to counter them, angrily and otherwise.. =nbsp;as often happens the debate ends up coming down in the middle =omewhere after the extremists have vocalized their views.. so there is =ome argument for letting the twitter sphere just exhaust itself and =ove on to the next thing. Indeed if I am interested in simply covering =y ass and leaving alive with my tail between my legs, this may be the =est approach.

But it is equally true that many many many of the =eople vocalizing support have all said that while most of the story is =earsay allegations, and none in any case involve sexual harassment, =hey are also saying that Lawrence Krauss has not had a chance, yet, to =efend himself. And exactly what I do in the future will depend =n this.. I expect you will say that this is true, but you will argue =hat my future will be better off if I do nothing.. but I cannot see not =esponding and I believe, based on what we are seeing, that waiting much =onger is strategically wrong.

Finally..

(5).. and wait for it.. because this is =oing to make you really want to yell at me, if we want to further =ilence Buzzfeed following up this, and maybe others as well, we may =eed to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in australia, where =asically anyone can sue and win).

So.. I am not acting rashly.. I am =nitiating this discussion with you. Thinking rationally and =almly about exactly how to navigate this tightrope.. So.. we can =ave a conversation later. In the meantime Nancy and I are at =east going to go over the letter to try and tune it and wait for =dam's revision so we are prepared to act if we decide =o.
