The Flat Earth Society uses that same tactic to try to dismiss mainstream science as "religion".

"Having been on the corporate side of this argument, and having to deal with the consequences of an open work environment, I have to say I completely disagree with you."

I'm a company director and in my opinion a good manager is focussed on good project outcomes, not trying to screw every last second out of the lives of its hapless employees. Happy employees with a good work-life balance is the key to productive outcomes, not to mention a better world. If that means using the phone and email for personal messages, in moderation, then I'm fine with that - in fact, I encourage it.

The "equipment" with which you deficate is entirely your own, and thus you are obviously entitled to your own level of pivacy. [sic]

As are your communications with your family, friends, union reps, and doctors (even company ones).

Nevertheless, your comparison is just plain rediculus and does not warrant a place in this discussion. [sic]

Welcome to free speech. Suck on it.
