(1) because it is being urg=ntly requested from many supportive organizations and individuals.

(3) because what is in the letter is true.

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

at this point, it appears that the firestorm is subsiding somewhat, and =aybe even a lot. It also appears that the haters may have exhausted =hemselves with yelling and other people are actually getting turned off an= beginning to counter them, angrily and otherwise.. as often happens=the debate ends up coming down in the middle somewhere after the extremist= have vocalized their views.. so there is some argument for letting the tw=tter sphere just exhaust itself and move on to the next thing. Indeed if I=am interested in simply covering my ass and leaving alive with my tail bet=een my legs, this may be the best approach.

40=A0But it is equally true that many many many of the people vocalizing supp=rt have all said that while most of the story is hearsay allegations, and =one in any case involve sexual harassment, they are also saying that Lawre=ce Krauss has not had a chance, yet, to defend himself. And exactly=what I do in the future will depend on this.. I expect you will say that t=is is true, but you will argue that my future will be better off if I do n=thing.. but I cannot see not responding and I believe, based on what we ar= seeing, that waiting much longer is strategically wrong.

Finally..

(5).. and wait for it.. b=cause this is going to make you really want to yell at me, if we want to f=rther silence Buzzfeed following up this, and maybe others as well, we may=need to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in australia, where basica=ly anyone can sue and win).

So.. I am not =cting rashly.. I am initiating this discussion with you. Thinking ra=ionally and calmly about exactly how to navigate this tightrope.. 50=. we can have a conversation later. In the meantime Nancy and I are =t least going to go over the letter to try and tune it and wait for Adam=E2.4os revision so we are prepared to act if we decide to.
