I agree that it is not original research to out someone. It is not prudent, though. My pseudonyms do not ask anybody to believe that I am posting under my given and family names. Someone might ask why, and I will tell them that I do not consider those names to be guarded secrets. Eric Blair actually wanted his friends and family to use his nom de plume. He did not sign his cheques as "George Orwell".
In this case, the reasons that someone chose a pen name are because it was on court documents, so he wants to make a better name for himself before he asserts identicality of two names in an autobiography. Okay, so how many times does the identity need to be repeated. On how many fronts of human knowledge does Erwin James contribute?
So, I think the problem is not that an identity was exposed. It is concentrating on it as though his notability is based upon court records, or as though the crimes committed did not stop after those records were made, or as though those crimes hav some bearing on whether a writer should be trusted. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Sound/wish.mp3 Answering Michael.
