You could equally argue my first reaction was a cheap shot. I said it looked like an alien spacecraft - but that actually WAS the first thing that came into my head. Where does honest commentary end and cheap jibes begin?

Would you feel the same way if Yves had made this comment about a development you disliked intensely?

Later I DID modify my reaction. I don't doubt its vision and creativity -but it's easy to defend something that may not affect you directly - so it's important that those who are close by have their say.

But the very nature of these online forums is that most of us do stay hidden - it's part of the way we interact in this medium. It's about being sensible and security conscious as much as anything.

Some have chosen to be more public but then that ties in with some of the public work they do anyway. It should be up to the individual...
