Your post seemed (and still seems) to be claiming that retaliating for name publication is so significantly different from retaliating for criticism that observers will probably understand.
I can’t tell if you think that, or if you think retaliating is counterproductive, and polite requests are the way to go.
I think it’s more understandable that reasonable people would be upset about doxxing than about criticism. I don’t think it’s understandable to the point that outside observers would actually go “oh, OK, fair reply to the NYT’s bad taste”. Realistically speaking, I think they would think very poorly of us for “retaliating”.
It seems improbable that the responses suggested by Mati_Roy would lead to positive changes at NYT.
Makes sense. I hadn’t realized my comment might be seen as an endorsement of Mati_Roy’s list.
To clarify: I think it’s more reasonable to respond like this to the name issue than to criticism. I don’t personally endorse that list.

If you want to clarify, edit your original post.
Done!
