I am honestly shocked that people BELIEVE they can say whatever they want on the Internet and BELIEVE there aren't repercussions for making their thoughts public. Same holds true for forums (i.e. Aldeer or any other service) - the words you use are recorded and can be viewed and certainly be used against you.
Absolutely. I generally keep my political and other opinions isolated to ALDEER. Where most of us are civil and reasonable, even if we throw shit at each other over stupid differences of opinion. Outside of here I make no political or religious statements at all. If you own a business, that's just a smarter way of going about things. My opinions on the world don't matter. My responsibility to provide honest work at a good rate is all that matters.
