I'm not even involved with this SSC takedown thing, and I got a call from the NYT on Friday asking about it, as an expert on the rationalists and on neoreaction.

Scott and his fans have absolutely turned it into a story now and attracted 100% of the NYT's attention. Doxing the journalist will do that.

Scott did not doxx the journalist. He encouraged people to send polite and appropriate feedback to NYT editors-- so it makes sense that this is getting their attention.

His fans absolutely did, this is a thing that happened.

(I also submit that this was absolutely predictable, unless you assume there are zero overenthusiastic fans of a popular site. Putting a call to action was going to lead to this result, even with a "please be polite" disclaimer.)

There's been one person doxed in the course of all this, and it's the journalist, not Scott.
