      Replying to @zeynep @melissamcewen and

      I find it hard to call this keeping it in any manner a secret https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wtQkDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA235&lpg=PA235&dq=%22slate%20star%20codex%22 … there are strong arguments not to put his name in the NYT. but calling doing so "doxing" is just a lie. And Scott knew it was a lie.

      Again, missing the point. The google search to blog is different.

      This is hardly the first time he's deliberately chosen to post under his own name/not his own name when it's convenient. https://web.archive.org/web/20180201121441/http://squid314.livejournal.com/355455.html …pic.twitter.com/aTjhsWZtPs

      I am done with the his opsec was sloppy arguments. I know lots of people like that who absolutely deserve pen names and changed their mind as their circumstances changed. I'm getting a he wore a mini-skirt vibe here; genuinely scary to me given how many others are vulnerable.

      Replying to @zeynep @davidgerard and

      That's not the argument, at least as I see it -- it's that he specifically wanted to have it both ways, to trade on his name and use it when convenient, but to play the victim when the (well-known) connection was easily made. At some point that becomes a part of the story.

      The mini skirt analogy is a perfect example because it doesn't work for Scott. He's not a woman dealing with sexual assault. He's a white male doctor who writes a blog popular with Silicon Valley hotshots. It's not poor opsec, he used his name when it benefited him.

      It does, actually, because the miniskirt is the bad opsec, and my argument is that bad opsec doesn't make anyone deserving of losing a pen name by the power of the NYT. People argue identially: miniskirt=dress sexually when it benefits them, and that's the risk etc. etc.

      Miniskirts/sexual assault are not *just* about bad opsec, it's specifically about women and how our society sees women who dress a certain way. It has a context of privilege in our society. You can't use that same analogy for a man in a position of power.

      The *argument* has the same logical structure. I'm obviously not saying miniskirt is bad opsec. 🤷‍♀️ I genuinely don't think we will agree and it's distressing how many people seem to not be able to separate their dislike of the guy from the principle which is terribly important.

      That someone who chooses to use their real name regularly in pursuit of fame, even after being warned by others in their discipline, and also trades on their discipline for credibility despite extant professional guidelines, should be immune from scrutiny? I guess we won't agree.

      Scrutinize all you want. This isn't that. Wanting NYT to casually and without justification exercise this kind of power should scare anyone who cares about those with less power. Everyone always thinks this will only happen to their ideological enemies/dislikes.

          This is a white male psychiatrist in Silicon Valley who was never previously anonymous. Worrying about those with "less power" is a slippery slope argument. I am worried that, in a typical neo-reactionary move, he's manufactured a controversy to further radicalize his followers.
