Here's an example of why the whole thing makes me uncomfortable:
Latest tweet from apache_ofbiz:
"Using Ajax in Ofbiz? Check part 6 in the ofbiz development tutorial guide at 
http://j.mp/bvTEwU . A pity it is not using forms.Thanks Praney"
The 3rd sentence is quite clearly an opinion and thus Hans' opinion is now the 
opinion of the project in the eyes of people reading these tweets.

Regards
Scott
