      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

      One of the main contributors to RationalWiki was doxing him on Twitter (David Gerard). But sure, you guys do get credit for being devious about it...

      David Gerard  🐍 👑  🌷 @davidgerard
      I'm thinking that even calling it "doxing" is assuming the conclusion. Scott Alexander's tax name, Scott Siskind, has NEVER been a secret. He spread it widely himself. He is now pretending it was ever secret, and his fans are going along with this blatantly false claim. https://twitter.com/ElSandifer/status/1275833544774946816 …

      Meh, I misremembered the order of events, fine Still not the actual reason people knew his name - in fact the tweet you linked is about that fact

          Gerard has an...interesting view of the world. It is true that his real name was not a perfect secret, but it is a falsehood that he spread it widely himself, before recently. The entire conflict with the NYT was that they wanted to spread it widely.

          do you think your work is still pseudonymous even after you republish posts from your widely-read blog in an anthology under your legal/professional name

          David still didn't start using it until after i and @ArsonAtDennys had started shouting it all over Twitter a few days prior to that tweet (in June of last year)
