Why "Scott Alexander" is futile

[ProdigalSon523]

That is one reason I've used pseudonymns and fake names on the net. In fact I have fun creating new names each time I register for something on the net. Bill,Some employers will probably care. If you care about Scott help him out man. Don't make it more difficult for him. Peace,Adam

Trying to hide his name is like trying to hide WV's name, Ryan Caruso - it's already everywhere. It would have worked if he didn't do stuff like, oh, I dunno, make an ezboard micronational account named Scott Siskind or call himself Scott Siskind for around four years in micronations, but other than that it's just too late. Employers will find out that he is in micronations if they are gonig to bother to search google and crap, and honestly, I don't see why he should be embarassed, unless he is actually ashamed of being in micronations.

Hindsight is a fine thing. Consider this though, if he knew in advance how much his name would be banded around in the internet, and if when he started in mns while at High School, or whatever, he had thought that it might be an issue vis background checks by employers, I doubt he would have used his real name. However if he considered that a mistake in the present and sought to limit the damage by confining the association of his name and a hobby to a period of time before he became a part of the working world, which he will eventually, who are you Bill to undermine his efforts? The way you go on about Scott dropping his surname you'd think he had become an apostate from Islam. Bill you really do exhibit the worst character traits of a fanatic. So STFU.
