Is censorship by outcomes bad then? If so, why? I'm prepared to be won over because you seem like a bright bloke and I wouldn't pretend to be that smart. (And that's not false modesty).

Up to now I would have thought it a good thing to think: I shouldn't say/do this bad thing because there might be a bad outcome for my employer and, by extension, me.

If its affect upon society is negative then essentially in many cases, yes. My contention is a general one.

Your argument about the effects upon a business of bad promotion has its merits. You made a forthright and sensible argument for practical business sense that deals with the bottom line. Also it's a sensible point that we don't have all the details.

If an employee's actions have a negative affect then their value as an employee becomes more a liability than an asset.

However, for just making a general point... I do think that principles matter and this guy's actions weren't deliberate just ill advised. I argue it required a warning personally.....so I'm having a moan.

We are all seeing businesses cowering to bad press now and I'm reasonably sure that giving 'activists' all this power is a negative for society in general.

You know they will have to put your restraints back on after visiting time.
