The world is full of disgruntled people who dish dirt on their former associates. We call these people "whistle-blowers". They have many motivations for doing that, but that's not really relevant. The motivation for making the claims is completely orthogonal to the truth of the claims.
Can you (or anyone) address his actual thesis? Given that pretty much the only attempted rebuttals I've seen are ad hominem attacks, I suspect the answer is "no".
- DagAgren 7y ago"There's no evidence" is a weird claim to make against a thing that is well known to have happened, to the point that it is documented on Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_M._Krauss#Allegations_of_sexual_misconduct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_M._Krauss#Allegations... "ASU found that the preponderance of evidence suggested that Krauss had violated the university's policy against sexual harassment by grabbing a woman's breast without her permission.[30][31] As a result, Krauss was not renewed as Director of the Origins Project and the University moved its staff to a project run by planetary scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton, formally ending the Origins project.[32]"
- Turing_Machine 7y agoThat's talking about ASU. Not the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Once again: so what? How does that make him automatically wrong about this specific issue? I'm still not seeing a substantive rebuttal of his claims, so I'm going to conclude that you just don't have one. I think we're done here.
