(1) becau=e it is being urgently requested from many supportive organizations
and ind=viduals.
(2) because it is the consensus of a wide variety of peo=le, who may all be
wrong while you are right, that saying nothing when accu=ed of at this level.. not a single complaint by a single
individual, but a c=mprehensive story in a tabloid magazine, appears tantamount to admitting gu=lt.
(3) because what is in the letter is true.
<=iv>(4) because ultimately I have to live with myself and Nancy and I have t=
feel we were a team in this (very important).
at this point, it appears that the firestorm is subsiding somewh=t, and maybe
even a lot. It also appears that the haters may have exh=usted themselves with yelling and other people are actually
getting turned o=f and beginning to counter them, angrily and otherwise.. as often hap=ens the debate ends up coming
down in the middle somewhere after the extrem=sts have vocalized their views.. so there is some argument for letting
the t=itter sphere just exhaust itself and move on to the next thing. Indeed if l=am interested in simply covering my ass
and leaving alive with my tail betw=en my legs, this may be the best approach.
B=t it is equally true that many many many of the people vocalizing support
h=ve all said that while most of the story is hearsay allegations, and none i= any case involve sexual harassment, they
are also saying that Lawrence Kra=ss has not had a chance, yet, to defend himself. And exactly what I d= in the future
will depend on this.. I expect you will say that this is tru=, but you will argue that my future will be better off if I do
nothing.. bu= I cannot see not responding and I believe, based on what we are seeing, th=t waiting much longer is
strategically wrong.
Finally..
(5).. and wait for it.. because this is=going to make you really want to yell at me,
if we want to further silence B=zzfeed following up this, and maybe others as well, we may need to initiate=a lawsuit
(and against Gizmodo in australia, where basically anyone can sue=and win).
So.. I am not acting rashly.. I a= initiating this discussion with you. Thinking
rationally and calmly a=out exactly how to navigate this tightrope.. So.. we can have a conve=sation later. In the
meantime Nancy and I are at least going to go ov=r the letter to try and tune it and wait for Adam's revision so we a=e
prepared to act if we decide to.
