Subject: Re: most recent version
Jeffrey... Will send you the new version, but I want to =tress a fundamental difference here.. I know what you have been
working =n is minimizing fallout.. but the fallout has essentially already =appened.. and there will be more false whisper
network claims of =on-harassing but nevertheless damaging looking claims of flirting and =he like I expect. We need to
speak out, and I am becoming =onvinced that the only way to stop 8uzzfeed from greedily doing more is =o initiate a
lawsuit against them. We will see.. anyway, =or the moment concentrating on the letter..

Thanks again Jeffrey.. =nbsp;There are many good points here, and we will adopt many of them. =nbsp;Re
buzzfeed.. They will do another article if they can, whatever I =o.. I am sure they are chomping at the bit to write an
article saying =E2 since our original article many new people have come forward =ith allegations'.. and whatever I write
will not affect that. =nbsp;You are right it cannot be poor me.. will try and reduce that.. =nd also try and incorporate
more strongly that none of this is =arassment.. I say it at the end of the piece, but it is probably too =ate.. I don't think I
can or should use the alien argument =ere, because that really seems like I am putting accusers down.. =umping them
with alien abduction people would look like I was attacking =nd demeaning them.
I will mea culpa more explicitly.. Next version this =fternoon.

p.s. as you may have heard, MIT press has cancelled the book =ontract Noam and I had with them.
