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

Yes, apparently there's been some sort of concerted effort to out him. I was not aware of that at the time of my original comments to this thread. I believe people have a right to their anonymity & indeed do not deserve to be doxed for expressing their views.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
