Relevance. The dick outed the writer on his Twitter acoount. The writer wrote pseudonymously because of their belief that frank discussion requires freedom from professional retali…

Sorry, Dr. Seuss.

The dick outed her on Twitter. The champion of pseudonymity in the cause of professional freedom wrote an open letter to his employer. I hope this explanation is as embarrassing fo…

'We must be pseudonymous to protect ourselves from professional retaliation so let's grass this dick to his employer'. Good to see that, yes, sometimes it is possible and both side…
