      You'd need an argument TO leave it out, which no one has convincingly made, IMO. I wrote an unbylined blog in 2003 and when the Times covered it, they didn't hesitate to note that I was the person writing it and neither did any other outlet.

      I also find the idea that Scott is being victimized ludicrous. His name is public and easily because HE put it out there. If he's so worried about privacy now, he can't blame the journalist. He made himself public.

      Nice victim blaming: "You wore a revealing dress, can't complain about being raped." At no point did Scott make his real identity easy to find. He didn't make it extremely difficult, but that is not the same. 1/2

      Note that one reason why his identity was relatively easy to discover in one direction, was because people with a grudge tried to publicize it. There is an entire subreddit dedicated to sneering at the community. 2/2

      R/Sneerclub is a disappointingly dead subreddit unfortunately, and its existence isn't some kind of unique shocking event - subreddits are easy to make and any sufficiently high-visibility sub will have a hater sub opposing it

      And the fact that people use the name of the sub as a gotcha is funny, considering the sub header contains in full the breathtakingly self-regarding quote from Eliezer Yudkowsky that it comes from

      That the people who dislike him and find him worthy of repeated criticism constitute a "sneer club" characterized by "Dark Triad traits" etc

      Anyway, I lurk on r/Sneerclub and it was assiduously scrupulous about enforcing the rule of always referring to Scott by his handle and not his wallet name, precisely to avoid this largely unnecessary drama (because contrary to the hype "rationalists" are huge drama queens)

      Same with Scott's supposedly endless persecution from @rationalwiki, which also never used his legal name until he revealed it himself

      Yes, but it was only to avoid drama, because an admin spoke approvingly of doxing him outside of the subreddit.

      I guarantee you, with extreme confidence (99% or whatever Bayesian numbers will make you happy), that the primary driver of people knowing Scott's last name before 2020 was not r/Sneerclub Many, many more people knew his last name than knew Sneerclub exists

          The astonishing thing about Sneerclub is its very name is a trolling ironic joke - mocking Eliezer Yudkowsky's absurd self-important paranoia over the fact that some people dislike him - and the rationalist clique not only don't get it but keep taking it further

          Sometimes I think Scott Aaronson has posted more words about Sneerclub and how heavily it weighs on him and how it proves the jocks of the world will one day put all nerds in prison camps than have ever been posted on Sneerclub itself
