I'm concerned how that kind of one-sided decision-making ("your opsec sucks so we will refuse you the right to a pen name") is disastrous for so many people with far fewer connections than him (and much more to lose). Pen names are a basic right they normally respect.

i think the doxxing no matter what policy is rude, we can probably all agree, but it does take the bite out of his outrage if his patients already could ferret out his alt identity like, he’d already crossed that rubicon from a professional obligation pov

The direction really matters, though. Blog to name is a very different game than Google to Blog, which NYT would have done forever. I've a lot of experience with this. Maybe it's a lost cause for him now, but the principle is important. NYT should ordinarily respect pen names.

As a general comment, I’m not sure that the concept of a “right” is very helpful, here or elsewhere. Asserting a “right” is often meant to end the discussion. We could instead say something like “expectation”; then we can ask who can expect what from whom, and on what basis.

this is good content. The conversation in general would make a philosophy student weep imo
