While it's true that you shouldn't HAVE to hide behind a persona in order to speak your mind, the Microsoft guy was free to do so. Why couldn't he just as easily say what he had to say under his 'randomMicrosoftEmployee' account instead of his public one? Simple. He wanted an audience. This is very reminiscent of the high ranked guy of some company who went off on a random chick-fil-a employee in the drive thru, posted it on youtube for the world to see and got fired over it during the whole 'supporting a anti-gay organization' thing. No one is saying you can't have or share your opinion but use common sense and decide HOW you'll share said opinion as well as the possible consequences.
