That's the internet for you.

This means that if you have commented on an unfiltered post, people who you didn't expect to be reading it may now be doing so.
I imagine that, in most cases, there should be no problem. Still, while both my post and your comment were technically public, you may not have been expecting this when you gave your input. For this reason, if anyone would like me to do so, I am entirely willing to strike or screen any such past comments, and can re-post them anonymously or not as you see fit. Just email me or ask me in person.
My family tends to read the news, and this leads me to appreciate that I decided to come out to most of them over the last fortnight. Otherwise this could be a bit awkward.
