Even while this is true, he admitted to the CNN/Buzzfeed "journalist" that he did not want his name published because he was scared for his personal safety. And his family's safety.
And then they admit they can publish his name whenever they want, even if he thinks it'll put him in danger. They don't care.
His name would have been published if he didn't do the bullshit phone "interview" that CNN selectively edits and refuses to release a recording of. Imaging being called by some Buzzfeed hack, saying he's going to publish your name on CNN for posting anti-Semitic memes on reddit and a CNN wrestling gif. How the fuck would you respond? You would apologize and beg not to be put on CNN news as an anti-Semitic Trump supporter who wants to commit violence against the media.
You would have the fucking Bikelock Professor in your backyard next week.
Of course he apologized when a Buzzfeed "reporter" called his personal fucking phone number asking about reddit posts he made. How would any of you react if you got a phone call out of nowhere from CNN asking about your Kiwifarms forum posts, calling you an anti-Semite who advocates violence against journalists, and that they're going to publish your name on their article, and if you want to respond, do it on this phone call where CNN can selectively publish your words as they want and no one knows what we actually discussed.
