I disagree that we can make private matters into public business just because they are published somewhere.

What Mosley did was distasteful to some. Some find atheism distasteful. Or religious faith. Or homosexuality. Or heterosexuality..... How can we agree that these private matters may not be taken into account when hiring or firing people, yet still say that Mosley's choice of fetish makes him fair game for dismissal? Do we mean that employers should be able to justify any personnel decisions to suit the prejudices of themselves and their customers? Do we mean that some of us get to define a list of special factors, perhaps legal, that can not be considered private?

If Mosley does his job well without actively inserting his private life into it (and sleazy tabloid investigations don't count), F1 should tell their fans and business partners to grow up a little.
