I've been reading this guy off and on since he was Yvain on Less Wrong.
This is a really fucking strange place to take a stand when his name has been public knowledge for...almost forever. The guy physically meets people at conventions and the like and introduces himself with his full name. It's been less of a secret than who The Stig (top gear) is. NYT may or may not be doing a big wrong here, but it's a fruitless act by [insert name here] given that his name always already public.
Strangely emotional though he claims it's out of fear for his safety (which would have already been compromised.)
