I agree this is an important topic for discussion, and I hope others will continue to weigh in with their thoughts. I’m sure this won’t be the last time a journalist writes/is interested in writing an article about this community, and it would be good to coordinate around some norms here.
Scott was told that the way to get ahead of damaging journalism is to reveal everything they might want to find out. For those of us writing under a pseudonym, should we all just be revealing our real names, and letting friends, family members, and colleagues (where appropriate) know about our connection with SSC and this community?
I’m personally not ready to do that yet. I also feel that revealing it too early would risk some of the positive things I’m trying to do within my community, and I don’t want to take that chance.
