Is it really necessary to out our colleagues on operational decisions after the fact when none of us were present at the event? Is it really a good way to promote professionalism and pilot-unity in these hard times?

I wasn't there neither, but consider what you would do if there was a large piece of known F.O.D. on the aircraft, runway, or taxiway. Would you be happy to run the thrust levers up knowing that there would be a good chance for FOD ingestion upon application of power?

Yes, it's a funny thing to snicker about when you read such a logbook entry, but maybe we ought to save such things for private conversations over a beer rather than embarrassing our friends and ourselves in a public forum.
