Fwd: CLARIFICATION: response to your email
Dear Larry,
I hope you're doing very well. It was nice to have you at PI for the Q2C Festival and I do
hope you'll be able to visit again soon.
I'm writing in regard to Holden XXX, who I have been working with recently ...
With my best wishes,
Neil
Peter:
Got your phone call yesterday shortly before I finished a lecture and then headed to the airport to return home late last night, as I had indicated in my last email. I am responding below to your issues, which are yet again false and/or misleading. I cannot keep doing this. = have told you repeatedly that there is no basis for a story here. I =nd others have responded to false allegations, but you and your colleagues have continued to

barrage me, my family, and my colleagues with a series of false allegations and innuendo for the past 6 months. So it =eems you have decided to produce some kind of defamatory story, independent of evidence to the contrary, and you are asking me to help you do your work to write it. I don't =now what else to say. I =sk you again to stop this harassment, and not write a story based on false and misleading defamatory allegations to justify some foregone conclusion that might defame me and/or other individuals or groups, and in the process can hurt genuine efforts by many of us to address important issues, from encouraging diversity in STEM education around the world, to fighting ideological efforts that endorse sexism, racism, homophobia or attempt to suppress free speech and free thought. =nbsp;

Dr. Krauss:
To clarify, we plan to publish each of the following =tatements, which have all been confirmed on the record by the Perimeter =nstitute:
In October of 2009, you =ent to Waterloo, Ontario, to be a guest speaker at the Quantum to =osmos Festival at the Perimeter =nstitute.
- During the event, a sexual harassment complaint was filed =gainst you.
You were immediately removed from the premises and banned =rom
ever coming back.
The institute would not provide more details to respect the
=omplainant's privacy.
Do you dispute any of these statements?
If you'd like to further clarify your position on =hese statements, please contact me before 12 noon Pacific on Saturday, =eb 10.
Peter Aldhous
Oh yes, definitely and demonstrably.. I dispute everything except the first bullet point, with substantial evidentiary email communication... so you had =etter alert whoever went on the record at the perimeter institute about the consequences of making false allegations.

The email from Neil =hat I sent you is the only one generated from the Director in this =egard. There is no document I have received from Perimeter =onfirming either the false hearsay claim you have already made, or this =ew claim of yours. As I have been invited back numerous times by =olleagues there in the interim, empirical evidence suggests otherwise. =nbsp;If there had been any such formal complaint and investigation and =ecision, I would have heard about it, or been asked to participate in =t. Your source has already demonstrated they have lied once about =y "immediate emoval and banning". So unless you have some =ositive documentary evidence, this s a false allegation.
It was also your =rofessional obligation to investigate allegations, other than just make =hem, but in every case I have done your investigating for you, when you =ould have discovered the numerous claims were false if you had tried. =nbsp;You demonstrated no interest in accurate reporting or in standard =ournalistic standards, nor have you
