what? I like them.
I don't get this automatic assumption that everyone is a hypocrite and no one is willing to face accusations of doing things wrong in their own life. I mean, is that how you operate? That's not how I do things. If I'm doing something wrong I love finding out about it - otherwise, how will I eve do things right?
if your goal for relationships with other people is to prevent them from discovering dirt about you then... I dunno man, I'm not sure how it's possible to live happily around other human beings with that kind of attitude. what kind of person does that make you?

We're talking about a few different things-- most of what I said applies to employer/employee relationships. If you hire a known whistleblower, you better make sure there are no skeletons in your closet because they've already proven what they're willing to do with such information. > if your goal for relationships with other people is to prevent them from discovering dirt about you then... I dunno man, I'm not sure how it's possible to live happily around other human beings with that kind of attitude. what kind of person does that make you? In both cases, it's just a matter of discretion. There is no prevention; discovery is inevitable.
- mock-possum 3y agookay but whistleblowing is good - I still don't get why you keep harping on this idea that if they revealed something secret about someone else, they'll reveal something secret about you, like - what kind of threat is that supposed to be? again, I feel like this is you projecting - what are you hiding, anyway?
