Dark ages are upon us and NYT leads the way. This is the most significant blog in the last decade plus. NYT should be canceled before they cancel every shred of independent thinking in the country.

I literally laughed out loud at this. And then I realized you are actually serious and I pondered the decline of Western civilization.
And to be clear, the claim is that the NYT "cancelled" this blog by easily finding who the author is. No, the author cancelled this blog because they feel uncomfortable correlating the things they say with their professional persona. He could have done a better job with anonymity if that was really so important.
This author was outed well more than a year ago, at the time doing a foot stomping "I am not responsible for my words" plea and stating they would stop writing about contentious topics (where their opinion amazingly veered far right on virtually every topic). I hardly think these imaginary death dealers are waiting for the NYT when the information was out there a year and a half ago.

If you think SSC, the blog that sources anything remotely controversial, is alt-right for the conclusions it comes to... Maybe you should show the issues in the logic that led him there?
But I think you're doing a great job of demonstrating why he's afraid of having his name published.
