This is an absolute lie. I know for a fact he has cancelled talks he's agreed to after being contacted by various factions of activists.

Canceling a talk doesn't equate to changing a view.

It means he's an easy mark, and doesn't think things through. I lost any respect I had for him after that, and so did everyone else in the circles I associate with.

Why did he cancel the talk? What were the arguments?

He had a view that going and giving a talk would be a good idea, and activists convinced him to change this view
