Here's the worry that I'm hearing from people:

1. I write an article or a comment that's acceptable, or even encouraged by the powerful people running the show today.

2. The powerful people get changed out for other powerful people, and they start encouraging different articles, articles very different from the ones I've been writing.

3. The new powerful people attack me for following the old powerful people, even though I'm willing to follow the new powerful people now that they're in charge.

4. I serve my time, and now that I'm out of the doghouse, the new powerful people want me to write things that agree with them. How can I feel safe doing that, when I will probably get thrown in the doghouse again once the next revolution happens?

I'm sorry to hear that, but I would ask (5) how much time have people here had to serve "in the doghouse"? How much damage have folks here taken from these "powerful people"? It seems specious and speculative.

What is the threshold, how bad does the damage need to be to be worth considering?
