Well - isn't that a rule for online debates in general regardless of
who you are? Any of us could contribute to a discussion now with an
impulsive remark and it could come to haunt us in 20 years when we are
being considered for the board at ACME Corp.

You either face up to that and accept that we are all learning and
making mistakes in a global archived environment or assume a number of
aliases and try to remain anonymous.

I didn't see anything that Shane contributed to this thread as being
provocative or controversial in any way though. I am sure members of
the FSFE are able to voice their own opinions as well.
