The opinion of Seamus-the-Guy is very different from the 
opinion of Seamus-the-Baron. For example, if Seamus-the-Guy was 
critical of some officer's conduct of their office, there would be 
nothing holding him back from expressing it. But since I beleive in 
a frim division between the Medieval side and the Administrative 
side, it would be inappropriate for Seamus-the-Baron to comment on 
it. Additionally, people will tend to take anything said by 
Seamus-the-Baron with greater weight than your average person. Thus 
Seamus-the-Baron has to be a lot more careful in what he says!
In person I would adopt the convention of my Knight while on the 
throne. When the coronet is in place, you are speaking as the Baron 
with the full weight of that position. (Coronet on: "I'm afraid the 
Baronial presence must depart for a short time." When removed, you 
are not. (Coronet off: "I have to go to the toilet!") For 
non-face-to-face discussion (e.g. the mailing list) I would probably 
use one of my alternate personas (Miley O'Malley, for a 
not-very-serious example) to express opinions to make it clear that 
these are the opinions of me as an individual rather than me as the 
Baron.
