URGENT: BuzzFeed News inquiry re allegations of sexual harassment

Dear Dr. Krauss,
Apologies for the multiple emails.

Regarding #1, you say it "refers to a consensual encounter in my hotel room in 2006 where we mutually
decided, in a polite discussion in fact, that taking it any further would not be appropriate, and there were
respectful and platonic encounters afterwards."

To clarify, are you saying that this mutual decision was reached in the hotel room? Or was this discussed
subsequently?

Sincerely,
Peter Aldhous

Gee.. I just got out of a meeting and was trying to respond to your last one.. and I am now leaving for a 2 hour
drive to a book signing event... I will try and respond to all your emails when I get back home later tonight.. I
don’t want to rush anything off as I am already late..

Is this a reasonable response? Should i even respond? Could use advice.
Mutual decisions about meeting and everything else at the time. I assumed that was clear.
