No, not planning to flame you CyberStretch. I'll try to set out my point more clearly. Entropic was banned, reinstated, and then banned again. In his brief period of reinstatement, he posted that he had been banned. That's his prerogative. He didn't state anywhere on Rnderosity (that I can find) why he was banned. He did not, in other words, breach his own confidentiality on that point. Tutone revealed that information, against the stated policy of this site. It was revealed in the course of an argument. That's unethical. It's easy enough for all of us to tell when people are banned, in fact it's pretty hard to keep that a secret when members suddenly disappear in the middle of an argument that is clearly important to them. The need for confidentiality arises from the reason for the banning. Entropic (AFAIK) hasn't revealed the reason for his ban, nor has anyone revealed it at Entropic's request. Tutone, in his role as a representative of Renderosity admin, did reveal it and so clearly breached that confidentiality. Unless, that is, anyone here can show me why I'm mistaken.
