When you tie your public blogging personna so closely to your employer and professional life, choose your words carefully...
Category Everything else
Taking someone to task for a perceived fault, and doing so with a "satirical" slur that is offensive to many these days, doesn't do yourself OR your employer any favors. It may have felt good for you to "score points", but Google doesn't forget and blog entries generally reappear without context at the worst possible times.

Tom's talking about my blog, specifically the entry here { Link }
Looking back, I wish I'd closed with "If you don't comment on this blog you hate America." That would have had similar flow, but with a less sensitive reference, and it happens that there's a suitable Facebook group with a similar "proof by inaction." Hindsight is 20/20.
For the complete story, then, see here { Link }

Group is still formulating a formal blogging policy, but the spirit of it so far is that employees are free to write what they wish as long as they remain within the boundaries of good taste. So I'm not telling you did something wrong or that you need to take it down. I'm just saying that I think what you're going to achieve from this post is going to be the opposite of what you wanted. This is going to mean more division, more backbiting, and ultimately, more bitching -- and is therefore counterproductive.
