      the only theory of ethics I've seen around justifying it is if someone uses the closet to hurt others

      ie benefiting from homophobia while closeted. This was Michael Rogers' justification.

      but there doesn't seem to be ANY justification here other than "I don't think this should be private"

      I believe Owen Thomas has stated he did not consider Thiel to be in the closet at the time.

      While it wasn't publicized, it wasn't a secret. Thiel seems to have disagreed re: closet status.

      if he disagreed, doesn't that matter..And if not secret, why lead with that as the news peg

      That was the cleverness of @owenthomas's piece - the meta-ness of it all.

      Oy. Maybe I'll explain after Twitter lifts character limit. But really, res ipsa loquitur.

          Was this also meta? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gawker-conde-nast-david-geithner_us_55a90c56e4b0c5f0322d0b2c …

          @gabrielarana 1. Not already out (open secret). 2. Not a public figure. 3. No broader import.

          fair enough--you agree on the second case being a non-meta unacceptable outing

          so it's a meta circumstance, not a meta journalistic intent?

          let's talk now, if it's OK--so your latin phrase implies it was accidental outing by OT?
