Is it a bad idea to post this under your full name?

Edit: Above content was expletive-laden sentence against anyone who dares insult Heroku

As the author, I disagree. It was an expletive-laden sentence against anyone who dares insult the hard working, dedicated, caring, compassionate, and very talented folks who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make Heroku a reality.

I mean, fair enough, if that is true then respect to you. But I just figured it might come off as tasteless and maybe not a good idea to represent Heroku with.

>> All of the most talented engineers at Heroku left, >LOL… Fuck right the fuck off.

The quote that is no longer visible if you haven't turned on 'see dead posts' or whatever the setting is.

>Is it a bad idea to post this under your full name? From my perspective, no, it is not a bad idea. It is a pretty toothless sentence, it expresses displeasure but doesn't even go so far as to insult..

On the other hand, I'm a vulgar contrarian and would be unlikely to face any social censure for saying things like that, so of course it seems relatively reasonable to me. Are you in a social context such that if you felt insulted in public and answered similarly that you'd fear backlash?
