To bs
What are the benefits of publicness (through Twitter, Facebook etc.) the author asks and quotes someone's answer:
"The best part about being public is that I can't BS any more: too many are in a position to call me on it."
from Public Parts by Jeff Jarvis
What does "can't BS any more" mean? To cheat, or lie to sb? And I guess "call me on it" means "critisize me", right? Thanks in advance
