are you seriously arguing that if you mention your place of employment on your personal website or blog, they then have the right to police everything you post there?!


Nope. What I'm saying is that once you do that, you run a much higher risk of alienating your employer by saying or doing controversial things. They certainly can't control what you do or say, but they may well opt not to employ you because of the choices you make. There's a distinction there, and it matters.
