Well hold on.... don't generalize here. I use a burner account for multiple reasons...
A. I want to keep my team safe from any repercussions of MY actions.
B. I do not want the harassment from others who disagree with what I say. (Both in the World of FIRST and of Chief Delphi) If you want to have an open minded conversation with me that is fine, but calling me bigoted, sexist, etc. is often what results in the sharing of my opinions.
C. Sometimes, I need to discuss things about my team with a larger audience. Issues arise and I have no clue who to deal with them, so I turn to you guys for help. Some of my opinions my team cannot know of because, as I have discussed elsewhere, I will get terminated from the only team within 20 miles of me.
Also, for someone's assured response of - "Just put 'My posts do not reflect the opinions of my team or its affiliates' in your signature". Well, I dont see that as enough.
Also, Post Morphing has become rampant here
