"Arizona State Suspends Lawrence Krauss"

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

"Arizona State Suspends Lawrence Krauss During Inquiry Over Sexual Misconduct Accusations"
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/07/scie ... state.html

Krauss posted a lengthy rebuttal to the BuzzFeed article

Hemant Mehta of friendlyatheist writes
Again, I’ve only just gone through this letter and I’m still working through my own thoughts. I have no desire to play judge and jury and claim one side is guilty of all wrongdoing. I can see in Krauss’ letter why he’s frustrated and how he rationalizes things he’s done in the past. I also am disturbed by how many women who have interacted with Krauss have come away feeling marginalized or hurt, if not worse. It’s possible that Krauss has been acting inappropriately for years without realizing just how awful it was — you can bet he knows it now — and that treating him as a danger to women exaggerates the reality of the situation. That doesn’t excuse his behavior, though. I’m curious to see how various organizations, universities, publishers, and fans treat him after today. I’m especially curious if anyone’s mind will be changed after reading Krauss’ response. I doubt it

I agree with Hemant Mehta, so I am not taking a side

Why are you so hyper focused on sex topics? What's going on with you?

Troll. I can't share news stories from the New York Times? I am sharing because I was a fan of Lawrence Krauss.

What part of your mentor's 9-page manifesto are you particularly interested in us unpacking?

I have a feeling you are too old. Your old brain isn't thinking properly anymore. Just get some rest.

So, you posted some links to virtue signal to atheists a semi-famous atheist professor is being accused of sexual misconduct? And you're indicating the women are lying, no? This is an ironic twist given your attack on my character a moment ago.

So. Which is it?

The women are telling the truth.

Or.

The women are lying.

Dude it is obvious you aren't reading anything. My position is the same as Hemant Mehta, "I have no desire to play judge and jury and claim one side is guilty of all wrongdoing"

Just get some rest dude you really need it and sign up for Cryonics before it is too late

Doc, you seem strange to me of late. I remember way back you posted a very personal history of your journey in Mormonism. I have always respected you for that.

Things ok?

DT,

You didn't make that clear, and you also posted a 9-page rebuttal. I think you think he's innocent of these charges.
