I'm not going to read this long review that argues for UK to ally with Hitler line by line but it's pretty bad.
Scott: "various scattered historical examples which they seem able to parse better than anybody else. see for example: https://foseti.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/review-of-the-last-lion-by-paul-reid/ …"

Fascinatingly, it seems that he used his real name to be ... more racist than he could under his more popular pseudonym. Puts the lie to the entire "doxxing" controversy, making it clear that the true objection was to negative coverage.

@jeremyyoder writes a blog post on speciation of the three-spined stickleback. Scott (Alexander) Siskind appears to ask him what he thinks of Gregory Cochran, another famous race/IQ pseudoscience guy (long-time collaborator of white nationalist Harry Harpending per@splcenter )pic.twitter.com/rskL4vQXRy

The blog post is about a fish, Siskind is too much of a caricature for fiction. https://www.molecularecologist.com/2014/08/05/how-many-genes-does-it-take-to-make-a-new-species/ …pic.twitter.com/wvvDonW01t

My apologies I meant to tag
@JBYoder in the previous tweet. Do you recall this interaction by any chance Jeremy? Moving on, another appalling entry on Scott's LJ. He is "not really interested in debating the moral good or evil of eugenics here"! https://web.archive.org/web/20131229233748/https://squid314.livejournal.com/338295.html …pic.twitter.com/ZpBqE3i82o

Re: the comments by Scott under the name Scott Siskind, someone has pointed out that Scott claimed to have been misrepresented by angry racist profanity laden comments under his name. While that may also be true, the two comments in question accord with his views... ... 1/2pic.twitter.com/VPzAHjvYqb

... in a very precise way. In 2017, 3 years later Scott wrote a several thousand word essay on the IQ of Ashkenazi Jews based on a paper by the scientific racist Cochran who was mentioned earlier. He has mentioned Jayman favorably over the years.https://twitter.com/avi_eisen/status/1363363299870593024 …

In the discussion above,
@avi_eisen points out that Scott had linked to Jayman and Cochran's blogs and a hypothetical detractor could have come across them there. Various links to HBD by Scott were dug up by someone in a comment on Aaronson's blog here. https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=5310#comment-1879433 …pic.twitter.com/GQs1CYFktk

... this seems to me to be a distinction without a difference. Given the evidence from the email that Scott lies (and specifically on this topic) when it suits his public image I find it much easier to believe that he put up that disclaimer when somebody stumbled on it.

Not sure if you care, but he said at the time that those comments weren't from him. See https://web.archive.org/web/20150110045518/http://raikoth.net/ …

That link is from 2009. Do these seem like generic "angry racist profanity-laden comments" to you? Let me get this straight, you're saying it's pure *coincidence* that what we now know are his actual views were said by a detractor of his 7 years ago who knew just what to say?pic.twitter.com/JmcItovPvR
