I hereby admit that I have posted IRC logs of #drupal on my weblog.
And I won't remove it. I consider any IRC channel to be public. And I definitely won't censor myself by not posting IRC logs if I feel the urge to (note that I don't post them regularly or automated) because it is a kind of free speech.
If you post what you say (your speech), I won't mind. If you post what I say (my speech) I might.
If you post confidential stuff in a public place, it's your problem. Of course you may kindly ask someone to not do that, but you can't force him.
It isn't really about confidential stuff. It is about being able to call a spade a spade without fear for repercussions from unknown people further down the timeline. You probably wouldn't want anybody you talk to in a bar to later publish the conversation on a webpage either. Cheers, Gerhard
