You may not have any to hide...from rational people. But guess what? Not everybody is sane and respectful and waits until all the facts are in. Or are capable of understanding all the facts.
It can be very time consuming trying to explain yourself to random people whose opinions you really shouldn't care about. Because they don't keep those private.

- tomp 12y agoRational people is a very vague word; in particular, I assume most people consider themselves rational, but not necessarily others. Personally, I consider people who were protesting Brendan Eich's position as CEO of Mozilla based on some past, popular (i.e. consistent with majority opinion) non-violent non-crime, but are not protesting Condoleza Rice's position on Dropbox's board or Israel's attacks on Gaza, to be highly irrational. But there seems to be a lot of them (especially in the media), and they have proven to have huge destructive power, so it makes sense to hide stuff from them.
