I absolutely won't defend his Livejournal comments or any of that other stuff. It's trash and he's wrong.

But with regards to the SSRI article, Siskind says the libido effects are significant and that "[the effects] usually go away a few weeks to months after stopping the medication, but in rare cases they might linger for months or years, and there are a few people who say their sexual side effects never went away. These cases are very unusual and still not well understood."

So he's almost completely agreeing with the posted article. He disagrees on how common these events are but doesn't offer any more evidence than the posted article does, and I think his disagreement is one the current medical establishment shares.

I think his SSRI article therefore remains credible; it is if anything a more mainstream view than the one presented in the posted article. I'd be more than happy to refer people to somebody other than Siskind if some other non-alarmist summary of SSRIs existed that was comparable. I've looked, but haven't found much.

That comment is 9 years old and Scott is still a relatively young guy, so hopefully he has grown out of such ideas.

Mostly unrelated to SSRIs, there was an email leak that was much more recent where he also says his anti-reactionary FAQ was made with ulterior motives to promote the "human bio-diversity" head measuring stuff from neoractionism and just attack the feudalism parts or something along those lines:
