And no, my intention was not to imply "if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide", it was only that, our public actions ought to speak for themselves.
A nice sentiment, but unrealistic. We come from too many backgrounds, too many cultures, make too many typos, and are sufficiently bad at communicating overall as a movement that there will be many things that require clarification. We should always be open to making these clarifications - this is the key to better communication, and thus better understanding. Only from understanding can we improve things, not just ourselves, but our processes, our work, and our movement.
