      The opening mockingly refers to anonymous accounts as "courageous."

      That reminds me! There are good reasons to be anonymous other than "I don't want someone saying something to my boss." That will be my REALLY last tweet.

      But avoiding harassment at work IS a legitimate reason to use a pseudonym! Harassing critics by complaining to their bosses about their online activities is how antivaxers and quacks roll. It's their go-to move to try to intimidate critics to silence.

          I've lost track of how many times I've been targeted for such harassment. The first time was in 2005, when a cancer quack named William O'Neill emailed my division chief, cancer center director, and department chair with complaints and threats to sue.

          One particularly painful example came in 2010, when a group of antivaxers orchestrated an email, letter, and phone campaign against me, complaining to my med school dean, dept. chair, and cancer center director, university board of governors about a made up COI.

          It’s why I don’t have my name. I already had a bogus phony “review” on #yelp from an antivaxer who never set foot in my office, and Yelp won’t remove it. The pro plague crowd is vicious and liars. I admire anyone who can stand up to it.

          His criticism of anon accounts reveals his inexperience in dealing with the AV movement. He says (in podcast) "it's a lot easier to just tweet about it. It's a lot harder to...bring about meaningful change." As if people that tweet about the AVers aren't also trying to do this...

          I've irritated a pro-lifer or two as well. Chronic lymers are notoriously vicious too.
