If you post what you say (your speech), I won't mind. If you post what I 
  say (my speech) I might.

It isn't really about confidential stuff. It is about being able to call

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.
