thinking about dropping the pseudonym ...

The non-secret identity games have already worn thin, and if I'm
telling this story that already ties into a lot of real-world
drama—for example, some of the public interest in my story will come
from how it relates to Jessica's story and the public intrigue around
whether Michael is Good or Bad, which has already been the subject of
a 950+ comment trainwreck—and if I'm actively trying to deal
reputational damage to other people's realnames (viz. Yudkowsky), it's
only fair that I show my own realname while doing it, and if I'm
dropping it for these posts, it makes sense to drop it for the whole
blog ...

For now, I'm just going to supply an "Author:" heading on these
postfiles individually, while I'm still drafting; the full blog
rebrand (and changing .gitconfig) can wait until I'm ready and thought
through all the angles.
