I agree that I have something significant to lose, as my account is tied to my public identity.

However, I do not share your belief that me having acknowledged engaging in Dark Arts is foolish. I am comfortable with being publicly identified as someone who is comfortable with using light forms of Dark Arts, stuff that Less Wrongers generally do not perceive as crossing into real Dark Arts, to promote rationality and Effective Altruism. In fact, I explored this question in a Less Wrong discussion post earlier. I want to be open and transparent, to help myself and Intentional Insights make good decisions and update beliefs.
