I would like to know who the journalist is. Not so they can be threatened or put in danger. But so their reputation can take a hit. Part of the reason people do these things is because they can get away with it without any consequences.
The problem with people trying to shut down others primarily comes from individuals. Often that's individuals on social media. In this case it's a journalist. These individuals can destroy other people's lives, yet they essentially face zero consequences for doing so.
And each time they succeed, like in this case, they embolden others to do it.
Many of Scott's patients would find his writings to be very relevant information.
But, you say, surely that's not a problem for well-adjusted people! Guess what the hell a psychiatrist does.
