> No, you canʻt solve it by making them anonymous, because then you will be accused of having an unaccountable Star Chamber of secret elites (especially if, I dunno, you just took the company private too). No, no, they have to be public and “accountable!”

This is bulls... Sorry.

Who cares what you are accused of doing?

Why does it matter if people perceive that there is a star chamber. Even that reference. Sure the press cares and will make it an issue and tech types will care because well they have to make a fuss about everything and anything to remain relevant.

After all what are grand juries? (They are secret). Does the fact that people might think they are star chambers matters at all?

You see this is exactly the problem. Nobody wants to take any 'heat'. Sometimes you just have to do what you need to do and let the chips fall where they fall.

The number of people who might use twitter or might want to use twitter that would think anything at all about this issue is infinitesimal.
