Yes, I admittedly exaggerated a bit -- but not by much: The key phrase remains "personal blog". Digging into someone's personal blog for out-of-context snippets to decry in public as if they were part of his institutional affairs is obviously, paradigmatically scurrilous and generally the province of people so devoid of scruple as to be not worth scraping off the bottom of my shoe -- e.g., the, anonymous er. bulvons[1] we've been hearing from in this thread. Even your Fortune 500 executive would probably either figure that out or having his/her handler point it out to him.

[1] As we say in Norwegian. ;-) (Er, Leo Rosten has a definition, if you need it.)
