In this post the author gives someone’s real name and claim that they’re the author of the quoted paragraph. We got an intercom message from a user claiming to be that person, asking to remove the post given that (a) the post provides no evidence of the association, (b) they say this association is harmful to them, and (c) it now shows up as the fifth result on google when searching for their name.
Doxxing attempts, whether true or false, are pretty bad, and I do think that LW’s SEO is giving this claim more Google prominence even though the post provides no evidence for the claim. I think in this case I will edit any mentions of the person’s name here to be the rot-13′d version of the name. You can access the name via entering it into the website rot13.com, but it will not be highly searchable on Google.

So was Unknown128′s post just an attempt to smear that person’s name by association with the Nazi screed he quoted from?
