EA Forum moderators take note: I believe the individual above is the same who created these two Twitter accounts just a few days ago, both of which were used to harass me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/xriskology/status/1569401706999595009. I have screenshots of many of our exchanges if you’d like. Harassment on social media should warrant being banned from this website, especially when the harasser continues to conceal their identity. Please act.
(EDIT: Please note also that this “throwaway” account was created just this month. Are you, as a community, okay with people creating anonymous Twitter accounts and anonymous EA Forum accounts to share misleading and out-of-context screenshots about someone? If so, I’ll make a note of it.)

My prior is that the reason Throwaway151 posted under a new anonymous account is not that they want to harass you. Rather, it’s that there is public evidence that you yourself harass (evidence: your exchanges with Peter Boghossian) those who you perceive to be your enemies. Anonymity is not ideal but it’s understandable given your history, in my opinion, even if you’ve admitted to and apologized for some of this past conduct.
Again, it goes without saying that none of this would justify Throwaway151 harassing you in turn, but I see no evidence that that has happened.
If by “share misleading and out-of-context screenshots about someone” you are referring to the screenshots posted above, I disagree strongly with this characterization. From what I can tell, the screenshots are not misleading, and the additional context you provided doesn’t change what I take away from the screenshots: you have a history of online interactions with perceived enemies that are reasonably construed as menacing and upsetting.
In addition, the screenshot Halstead shared strongly adds to this impression.

Yeah, given the extensive documentation that the Throwaway151 account posted of years worth of Torres’ falsehoods, I think it’s absolutely clear that it’s someone who has far more than a passing interest, and that even if the post wasn’t malicious, it was at least negligently defamatory, given that they admitted that no effort went into verifying any of the original claim.
I think that anonymity encouraged/enabled the negligence and was for that reason and to that extent bad. That’s different from trying to harass Torres. Any malice or negligent defamation has been towards Cremer and Kemp.
I was just saying that a major reason Throwaway151 could reasonably desire anonymity is Torres’s verifiable track record (see other comments on this post) of harassment. So anonymity is less evidence of ill intent than it would otherwise be. Of course, if Throwaway151 has in fact harassed Torres on Twitter as Torres claims, that is terrible. (I maintain that nothing Throwaway151 has done on the Forum constitutes harassment of Torres.)
Related small point: I think you mean “years worth of Torres’s menacing behavior”, not “years worth of Torres’s falsehoods”. As far as I can tell there aren’t actually any lies in that thread, just unnerving behavior.
Are you, as a community, okay with people creating anonymous Twitter accounts and anonymous EA Forum accounts to share misleading and out-of-context screenshots about someone?
I am confident I speak for the community when I say: no, absolutely not. If you are being harassed on Twitter, by Throwaway151 or by anyone else, that is wrong and unacceptable. I’d be especially angry and concerned if Twitter harassment is coming from EAs, and I emphatically condemn any such behavior.
Harassment on social media should warrant being banned from this website, especially when the harasser continues to conceal their identity.
I agree, and I expect the moderation team to take action if they have sufficient compelling evidence that this is in fact what has happened.

The mentioned tweet seems to no longer be available. Could you provide screenshots?
It is available, there is just a typo such that there is a period included at the end of the hyperlink. Just take off the period.
