A very thought provoking article which does touch on the broader issues with the back channel.

I believe that all “events” should clearly indicate what is and what is not acceptable on the back channel – “rules for the road so to speak. Quite why some people need to be told this is beyond me but there we.

It does amaze me that people will say comments, publicly on Twitter which they would not say face to face with the person.
