I think these things have become truer since the NYT debacle, due to people spamming his real name in lots of public places. Among many other examples, somebody set up a linkedin profile under his real name, listing his occupation as "author of slatestarcodex blog".
- Viliam1234 6y agoThere was a campaign on Twitter recently, people encouraging each other to post Scott Alexander's full name, because "if all the hundreds of people who know his real last name just started saying it we could put an end to this ridiculous farce". Translation: if enough people join this doxing campaign, it will be difficul to report our accounts for violating Twitter terms of service. The usual suspects have joined, including David Gerard from RationalWiki. (Not linking the tweet here, because it contains the dox.)
