I am sure I criticized the anonymous nature of the article as well at the time.

Now that I have seen the Turner administration go after a friend's employment based on twitter commentary, I am not so bothered by it.

That article has arguably changed the trajectory of Michael's life, and could well have put him in jeopardy of prolonged unemployment at the time. In retrospect, I have no beef with the anonymity or Charles Kesler's judgment in allowing it.
