I think it is time for everyone to admit making their respective mistakes and work toward achieving peace and harmony again. Yep. If this breach was just an indiscretion made in the heat of the moment, someone needs to be big enough to admit it and apologise for it. That would satisfy me, along with a clarification of my other questions. If it was more than that - something done deliberately to hurt someone who's seen as 'trouble' for the site at the moment - then there's a serious issue about whether we should trust this site with our personal details. What surprises me is that an admin and a mod have both posted to this thread, yet neither has been able to say, "The site has a clear procedure and clearly defined circumstances where a breach of confidentiality is allowable - this situation fits them." This site holds the personal and/or financial details of over 100,000 people. That should have been the first answer I received in this thread. Any member of staff who saw this should have been able to give that answer because it should be true.
