You may find this argument fails to compel you, but that's the argument.

A "he deserves de-anonymizing" because his of his views argument is different. Does not seem to be what NYT was doing or defending. And, yes, of course, therapists deserve extra consideration for privacy and pen names! (As do many others! Pen names are a basic right).

When you throw out words like "fan of eugenics" it kinda weakens your case "skaffen-amtiskaw", especially since you, yourself, are a pen name. I actually know a bit of history about what "fans of eugenics" have done and do not take kindly to the word being used lightly.

Scott literally and openly advocates eugenics, race and IQ theories and Murray's "The Bell Curve" as a serious work worthy of consideration. These are simple factual claims. Denying them does you zero credit.

Denying what? Moving the goalposts doesn't make me trust the rest of the argument. I'm conceding there may be a case; people who think so should make the case. I don't need to read or defend every last pseudonymous blog to defend pseudonyms!

Replying to @zeynep @_amtiskaw and
defending pseudonyms doesn't require apologetics for scientific racism, and makes your case look much more like special pleading for Slate Star Codex than application of a general principle

Oh wow. I’m stopping engaging you. I’ve been working with and writing about dissidents in authoritarian settings and identify for so long, not to mention my own work. I’m not going to waste my times with baseless nonsense from summer children. Enjoy the playground, I guess.

Scott Alexander is not a "dissident in an authoritarian setting", good Lord
