Tragedy in the blogosphere: One of the best is being taken down. Scott Alexander (not his real name) explains: NYT Is Threatening My Safety By Revealing My Real Name, So I Am Deleting The Blog | Slate Star Codexhttps://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/22/nyt-is-threatening-my-safety-by-revealing-my-real-name-so-i-am-deleting-the-blog/ …

If you don't want your real name revealed, don't make it easy (like 5-minutes easy) to discover your identity. It's a concern he should've considered more thoughtfully when Scott started blogging back in 2013. He didn't & now he wants others to take the blame for it.
Honestly, I find it deeply disturbing that another person in the mental health field is so flippant about the safety of his fellow doctors and the ramifications on the vulnerable class he works with.

Sorry if that was your takeaway on my view on the subject. I didn't mean to be "flippant," just noting that existing Google searches already associate his real name with the website in question (at least for me).

Scott's name isn't all that difficult to find in part because of organized attempts to make it more widely available in order to do him harm. He wrote about this last year.pic.twitter.com/fcomagflg5
