No, I understand that point very well, I just dispute it. But more importantly, I haven’t seen the article, and I don’t trust Scott Alexander to represent it to me. I don’t have enough evidence to make any kind of assessment about the NYT here.

If a therapist is talking about me and the confidential details of my treatment behind my back, in an environment where he himself says he's been targetted by anti-practice elements for years: maybe his patients have a right to know about that reckless decision.

Further: you're making an argument that pen names are a right. I haven't heard that before. It's a right that has never been extended to me. I've never even *heard the argument* that pen names are a right before a month ago. Can you explain why they're a right? Since when?

@zeynep I have the greatest respect for your work but may I suggest that you’re quite misinformed as to the nature of Scott’s blog, viewpoints and the community he has cultivated around it. We have only Scott’s less than reliable word to go on that it was a puff piece. - Show replies

How is using your first and middle name a "pen name"
-
Quality of opsec should not be the criteria for right to pen name of any type. His first and middle name did not, until very recently, lead to his blog for many pages of Google searches. I know lots of people in vulnerable positions who enjoy similar obscurity protections.
