FWIW, this sounds pretty wrongheaded to me: anonymization protects OP from more distant (mis)judgment while their entourage is aware of them having posted this. That seems like fair game to me and not at all as you’re implying.
We didn’t evolve to operate at these scales, so this appears like a good solution.
Sorry I might not have made my point clearly enough. By remaining anonymous, the OP has shielded themselves from any public judgement or reputational damage. Seems hypocritical to me given the post they wrote is deliberately designed to bring about public judgement and affect the reputation of Nick Bostrom.
So I’m saying “if OP thinks it’s okay to make a post which names Nick and invites us all to make judgements about him, they should also have the guts to name themselves”

I don’t see anything to suggest OP has told people they know personally this opinion, can you share what you’re basing that on?
If Bostrom is not entitled to protection from random people on the forum making judgments about him, why should it be any different for OP?
I didn’t say Duncan can’t judge OP. I’m questioning the judgment.
