Forget whether or not you like Alexander or his fans for a moment. Do you want to live in the world where the NYT puts a pseudonymous author's full name on blast because it's discoverable online? We all know a number of people in this position whom it would hurt.

You didn’t ask me, but: there’s a threshold here, right? We agree on that? There’s some point at which your identity is so open that journalists aren’t obligated to conceal it, and some point where that ceases to be the case? We just disagree on where the line is?

I honestly don't know what the Platonic principle is. It feels like newsworthiness to a general audience should factor in. At the very least, you'd expect some kind of consistency in how pseudonymity is granted
