   I’ve seen the following analogy around the fed a number of times:

   “If someone posts something, don’t just reply. A post is like someone having a conversation in a pub. If you the rock up and interject with your opinion, it’s rude. Don’t do that.”

   That analogy holds no water to me. The post is public so therefore it’s more akin to a town cryer than a conversation in a public setting. Isn’t it?

   If you want a conversation with specific people, use DM. If it’s public, it’s fair game IMO.

     I’d just like to clarify my last statement…

     It’s fair game as long as you’re adding to the conversation and not being a dick. 👍

     @kev @oilyfish Oracle have a bunch of policies in addition to the standard employment contract; corporate ethics, social media, harassment, racism, diversity, sexism etc
     
     All of them could be essentially distilled into 'Don't be a dick'.

     @oilyfish yeah that’s not productive or useful, and would definitely fall under the “don’t be a dick” thing. 😊

     @kev I agree - you put it out there in public then it's fair game - but what I dislike are the responses that just tell you what's wrong with what you wrote - not about the subject but simply fault finding.
