Kind of inappropriate, don't you think? He obviously wasn't interested in having his name out there.

  I honestly doubt that's his real name. I doubt it would have taken him over a month to react to that blog post.

    It depends on how long it took him to notice the post.

    It doesn't matter if it's his real name. I just think it's in poor spirit to attempt to out someone's name when it's clear that's not what they want.

  I will never understand the sort of person who thinks it's funny to reveal things about people that they don't want revealed. Especially not when the person in question is kind and funny and inspiring and a little bit brilliant. I had to email _why when I read his guide. I saw it as such a step forward from everything else I'd ever seen. He responded almost right away, a multi-paragraph response rather than just a one-liner, and his writing style via email was the same as it was everywhere: Warm, curious, and amusing. Flagged, because it's not news, it's not Hacker News, and it's not nice.
