I understand. Because it is a group effort, I understand why someone would want to see your specific contribution in that specific fight. Unfortunately that's all they see and they very much do judge a book by its cover (or a parse by its color, in this case). You can't explain "well, I was down with the flu" or "we were still learning the fight at that point." or whatever. It doesn't tell the whole story or make up the whole picture of you as a player.

Of course, any time I bring this up, people ask "why are you against it? You must have something to hide!" But to those people I'd simply reply:

"Glass bathroom stalls."

Could you imagine glass bathroom stalls being installed in public restrooms? (mock outrage) What? You think that's crazy? Well why are you against it? You must have something to hide!

Just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean you shouldn't want privacy. Maybe I don't want my specific contribution shared. That should be my prerogative. But hiding it immediately causes a reflex reaction of "you must be hiding it because you're bad."
