While I understand the allure of conspiracy theories, it is far more straightforward and far more accurate to assume that those insisting on "professional behaviour" are simply looking to exclude "unprofessional behaviour" wherever that is found, with no ulterior motive.
I don't think there's any necessity here to impugn someone as finding conspiracy theories alluring. These things change over time and in different locales. At this time, ISTM there are some corporate HR regimes that are both a vast improvement over what was seen a decade or two ago, and yet at the same time, can be validly criticised as being hugely hypocritical. My impression is that Keith is more making the point that "professional" in such a context is problematic. (A point with which I agree btw.) Cheers, S.
