The fact that this comment has been downvoted is as hilarious as it is depressing. Are we not even going to pretend any more that on HN downvotes are for bad comments, not comments we don't entirely agree with?
I think it's reasonable that people could see this as a bad comment.
The whole point is that no-one should be able to say "this is important that it stays private, this isn't important".
For one thing it's none of their business, for another historically the most unusual things have been used for discrimination or oppression. What may be seen as acceptable today may not be so tomorrow. What may be the folly of youth now may be seen as a clear lack of judgement tomorrow.
