The issue is that those two people are one and the same.
Many of Scott's patients would find his writings to be very relevant information.

Not every relevant interest is legitimate.
Fortunately it will now be up to his patients and colleagues to decide that.
Colleagues, sure. Patients, NO. Especially since this will harm even potential patients who would have had no problem with Scott. The problem isn't that patients will read SSC, decide that Scott isn't cool, and Scott loses business. It's that patients will read SSC, learn too much about how and what Scott thinks, and this will hinder Scott's ability to help these patients regardless of what said thoughts are. For instance, if Scott talks about hating PE class in high school (he very well might have, I don't know), that could stop patients from opening up to him about their passion which happens to be sports or something.
But, you say, surely that's not a problem for well-adjusted people! Guess what the hell a psychiatrist does.
