Confidentiality is an agreement between two or more parties. Regardless if this information was publicly available elsewhere, R'osity had a confidentiality agreement, per the TOS, with Entropic. Just because the information became public on a different site, does not void the R'osity agreement. R'osity violated that confidentiality by entering it into public forum discussions; whether or not this was for the benefit of R'osity, Entropic, or not, it is a clear breach of confidentiality. Financial transactions also fall under confidentiality. So, if, for some reason, my Credit Card or other personal information appears on some web site outside of R'osity, it is ok to publish it here in defense of R'oity? (Hackers have done this before, so it is not a remote possibility and it does apply.) I think it is time for everyone to admit making their respective mistakes and work toward achieving peace and harmony again. The Ridiculosity of all of this is amusing, but it is not serving either side of the discussion.
