Something to keep in the back of your mind is that a disclaimer will
not necessarily "make everything okay."

Here are three examples (two of these I have seen personally)...

1) Messages posted by some person clearly show that he does not have a
   firm grip on reality.  Disclaimer or not, the simple fact that he
   is a (presumably important) part of his employer's team will bring
   the reliability of his company's products into question.
   
2) Messages posted by some person indicate that he has no interest in
   doing a proper job.  This is a legitimate opinion, but the same
   concept as in (1) applies.

3) Messages posted by some person disparage his company's products.
   This is also a legitimate opinion, but...
