Telstra wasn't the one whipping up a frenzy of intrigue regarding the FSC
identity, it was the twittersphere. The pressure came from there, and then
LN outed himself. That various social media people don't seem to be taking
any responsibility for their part in all this is galling.

Would we so callously and irresponsibly seek to out an anonymous
whistleblower as well, to only then lay all blame for the inevitable
consequences at the feet of the employer?
