Yes. Doxxing people whose only crime is producing good but complex content for the world to enjoy is cyberbullying. If bullies are on the right side of history I have no interest in the metric.
Doxxing, what? What do you think journalism is? It's very common for controversial authors with a very wide reach to be "revealed" and investigated? How do you know that this is "cyber bullying" after just reading one side of the story?
People seem have lost all sense of objectivity due to some sort of idolatry.
Scott is widely known for his impeccable mental honesty, even-handedness, and general niceness. There's a strong prior that what he says is, to the best of his knowledge, both true and presented in such a way as to reflect reality.
Well, now this 'controversial' author has been silenced; given that it reduced the number of places with better writing than the NYT, I would bet it will be permanent. Is that what you wanted?
He has certainly not been silenced in any way shape or form. Him closing his blog is just a way to create outrage, it has no effect in whether the NYT article will be published with his name or not.
