As someone who knows you IRL, I was somewhat hoping that you could put this behind you man :/
I ctrl + f’d for “adnonymous” or anything related to the email threat you sent Duncan at 5 AM. Unsurprisingly it went unaddressed in this post as well as the other explainers. I feel like you’re not getting it, people are scared of you due to the way you are acting. I’ve internally debated leaving this comment as a message multiple times in your inbox but did not want to get put on blast on your social media.
There’s nothing in this post that justifies that action, nor the doxxing. I’ve read through the FB messenger conversation and at no point did I come away thinking you were in the right here. You say that Duncan doesn’t know you. Duncan doesn’t need to know you to be scared of you.
And for the record, I am not a member of the rationalist community nor did I know who Duncan was before this whole thing started. I found it through your own posts on social media, and went through feelings of confusion, shock, and then a growing sense of horror as I read through everything. I have no personal stakes in the outcome of these events beyond hoping that things can improve.
Please take your own advice at the end of this post, print copies of the messages, then take them to a trusted therapist or neutral third party to have them make a judgment call. I understand that this has been very isolating, but that can be repaired.
Standard M.O. from segfault is to simply never address this inconvenient bit of reality. I would be slightly surprised if he replies at all, as opposed to ignoring this subthread now that you’ve posted the screenshot.
(notably, given the anonymous nature of the messages, it’s likely that some of my haters have sent in messages that they wish Duncan to perceive as from me that actually aren’t; I got so many insulting and hateful and just plain lewd messages in my adnonymous inbox—one pretending to be from Duncan, it was crudely sexual and wanted me to say the word “giraffe” on social media (eyeroll) - that I actually had to shut down my adnonymous inbox because it was affecting me too much)
I recognize they are anonymous but I am capable of using inferences, textual clues, and context to make a reasonable guess. Can you affirmatively say “I did not write that message”? That’s literally all I care about here.
You said in another thread that your IRL friends have not asked you clarifying questions about what’s going on. This style of response might be why. You were asked why you sent this message, and instead of answering the question, or even denying its premise directly, you threw an evidence-free smokebomb. If you want people in your life to ask questions and give you feedback, you have to show them you will answer questions directly and honestly, show them you’ll take critical feedback well. Otherwise, they’ll quickly decide to just avoid you.

If you know me IRL, then shame on you for not asking me specific questions about what happened.
What explanation do you have for the adnonymous message about Duncan’s children?
What adnonymous message are you referring to? Not sure what you’re talking about.
This one after Duncan blocked you.
