I never read the article, so apologies if I am off point.
If I'm EldrickOnIce, and post something inappropriate on Calgary Puck, who cares - I'm just another Internet ahole who can be warned, suspended or banned to protect the site's public image.
If I'm Bingo, it's entirely different.
I can be an ahole, he can't.
It's my opinion that people who are a public face of something, and aren't smart enough to understand what is and is not appropriate to broadcast, probably should not be in that position anyway.
Harsh but true.
