    Lots of fascinating links in this article. This link in particular was fascinating:

    If you’re searching for Scott Siskind… I am Scott Siskind from Ann Arbor, Michigan. There used to be more things on this webpage. Right now I’m using it to spread the message that there are multiple statements being falsely attributed to me on the Internet. Somebody who doesn’t like me - I am not sure who, but I work in mental health and guess this is sort of a professional hazard - has been trying to systematically discredit me by posting racist and profanity-laden things under my name. Some of the comments make some effort to convince, like linking back to my website. The end result is that if you Google me to try to find out what I am like, you will probably end up seeing angry racist profanity-laden comments made under my name. These are not mine.

    Does anyone know the backstory here? This reads to me like a “hackers ate my password” story – the kind of ass-covering someone might concoct after their racist writings accidentally leaked onto the internet.

    EDIT: This seems to be related to the stuff Topher Brennan revealed? Except it was written many years before Topher’s revelations. It’s confusing…

      no, at the time there was someone actually going around posting comments in Scott’s name and not in his style
