If you’ve got something to say and you’re not comfortable saying it publicly, there’s a very good chance you shouldn’t be saying what you’re saying. Not a perfect chance, mind you… there’s certainly something to be said for anonymous whistleblowing, and also for a true vox populi (where you’re saying something that truly needs to be said and which people in power will kill to suppress). There’s also room for pushing entirely new ideas into the public domain specifically to disclaim intellectual property rights to those ideas. But, overall, odds are pretty good you probably shouldn’t be saying it if all you’re trying to do is avoid being held responsible for saying what you said.
