I was a very loyal reader of SSC and thought I followed the "doxing" incident and fallout rather closely. I read numerous related blog posts about it and followed the discussion on the main remaining discussion space the community has, /r/slatestarcodex.
Never once did I see the comments of said "Bay Area attorney" or Srinivasan, or see them discussed. It's certainly possible they were there and I missed them, but they weren't so important that it was impossible to miss them either. It's these ones the article focuses on because they went overboard in striking back at the NYT in a way not really consistent with the principles of Scott or SSC, in my opinion anyways.
A shame this article is basically trying to use those few hotheads to tar and feather the whole community.
- nerfhammer 6y agobasically you're saying you don't have the same twitter-centric experience of the world as the author of the piece apparently might
- cowpig 6y agoMy reading of the article, or at least the second half, is that there's a sort of culture war going on in which "old media" and "new media", journalists and SV, "grey" and "blue". I was more skeptical until I read the comments section here.
