It may be that I'm shallow, or not interested enough in larger issues like Truth or Justice, but honestly? I think complete transparency is usually a bad idea -- except in many sorts of glass and some forms of acrylic.
Transparency in complaints against deputies and other posters, for instance, seem like a great way to make people feel unnecessariy bad. Much better, from my perspective, to do that sort of thing privately, so that spankings -- if any -- can be private. It feels more respectful, to me, and I can't see why it wouldn't get the job done just as efficiently without hurting any feelings.
Again, this is my perspective, and maybe it's a character flaw on my part. I just don't see any compelling reason to risk hurting feelings needlessly.
I guess the office analogy resonates a great deal with me, because I keep coming back to how I've felt when castigated in front of other employees.
The answer, by the way, is pretty $h*tty.
