This is not so difficult though. You just need to adjust your starting point to someone who doesn't like boulos' first. That's not so difficult IMO, it's a large org and boulos' seems to be a fairly prolific commenter here.

It also could be someone will intentioned who believes boulos is sharing things he shouldn't be.

He certainly shares stuff I wouldn't be comfortable sharing, but then again he's a lot better connected and in the know than I am.

If you are their co-worker and believe he shared some info that shouldn’t be public, wouldn’t it be a simple curtesy to email them and get some clarity? That seems like a reasonable thing to do.

On the other hand, to anonymously submit a complaint feels, to me, like a personal attack. Someone who simply doesn’t like them in for whatever reason. To me, that action seem petty.
