Doesn't it seem at all a problem that you appear to be using different standards of evidence here? You *believed* (and acted on) things about Phil based on what others told you; but you don't *know* about Krauss (despite at least equivalent evidence), so you withhold *belief*?

Perhaps PT got sensible responses when he first tried to criticise and that's why these repeated attempts to engage by him are seen as stalking, maybe they are as extreme as you say. But just from this snapshot it looks like they want an excuse not to respond and engage.
-
I think this is good enough reason not to respond & engage but I also think you don't need one. Shld just be able to ask people to stop contacting you & they respect this. I've been dealing with someone like this for 18 months now. I don't need to justify wanting to be left alone

He might be a lovely bloke. He might be right that God exists & that I must understand this. I still don't have to hear him. I've blocked him everywhere, gotten legal advice, ignored online obsessing & if he threatens to turn up at my workplace, I will call the police.
-
There is no problem with PT being very critical of penis hoax & writing abt this. Or being very critical of new atheism & writing abt this. The problem is trying to force individuals to hear it when they've made it clear they want him to leave them alone.
-
You don't need to understand why one person would want another to leave them alone. You just need to accept that they have the right to decline contact with them & call the police if they ignore this & turn up at their workplace. My daughter prosecuted someone for this.
-
If you want to understand why, look at PT's timeline for obsessive & deranged ranting about various people. He has the right to do this but can't blame them for avoiding him & being afraid when he threatens to turn up at their work. This is not normal. It is not OK.
-
I think if he keeps trying to engage with these people that may indicate a problem on his part, but your words "afraid" "deranged" "threaten" are you sure they are fair? They seem extreme.
