Cc: Lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: a tightened version.. awaiting comments from Adam and Nancy you =re right.. this means we should get the statement out BEFORE, not =fter.. 2 reasons. 1. we beat all the talk, and 2. all the =alk about the academy awards will distract from some of possible =esponse to a statement.

(2) because it is =he consensus of a wide variety of people, who may all be wrong while =ou are right, that saying nothing when accused of at this level.. not a =ingle complaint by a single individual, but a comprehensive story in a =abloid magazine, appears tantamount to admitting guilt. (3) because what is in the letter is true. (4) because ultimately I have to live with myself and Nancy =nd I have to feel we were a team in this (very important). EFTA_R1_01649356 EFTA02515115 at this point, it appears that the firestorm is subsiding =omewhat, and maybe even a lot. It also appears that the haters =ay have exhausted themselves with yelling and other people are actually =etting turned off and beginning to counter them, angrily and =therwise.. as often happens the debate ends up coming down in the =iddle somewhere after the extremists have vocalized their views.. so =here is some argument for letting the twitter sphere just exhaust =tself and move on to the next thing. Indeed if I am interested in =imply covering my ass and leaving alive with my tail between my legs, =his may be the best approach. But it is equally true that many =any many of the people vocalizing support have all said that while most =f the story is hearsay allegations, and none in any case involve sexual =arassment, they are also saying that Lawrence Krauss has not had a =hance, yet, to defend himself. And exactly what I do in the =uture will depend on this.. I expect you will say that this is true, =ut you will argue that my future will be better off if I do nothing.. =ut I cannot see not responding and I believe, based on what we are =eeing, that waiting much longer is strategically wrong. Finally.. (5).. and wait for it.. =ecause this is going to make you really want to yell at me, if we want =o further silence Buzzfeed following up this, and maybe others as well, =e may need to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in australia, =here basically 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.
