> > This was not something I was going to bring up, but you calling me unethical prompted some form of response.

> I think you misunderstand me. I agree with the above poster in that I think you were a good guy. I'm not starting the Jaldean Hate Club. I think you made some bad choices. I think disregarding our confidentiality rules was one of them. From the HELPfile on that, I quote:

> "ALL INFORMATION DISCLOSED VIA THE IMMORTAL CHANNEL, IMMORTAL SANCTIONED WEB SITES, ORAL, WRITTEN, OR ANY OTHER MEANS RELATING TO CARRION FIELDS IS TO BE CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION."

> By working on the CF staff you agreed to follow these rules and to protect the company's intellectual property. Later in your post you mention that once you're dismissed you're free of all obligations. If you think that's how companies and confidentiality agreements work, you're incorrect.

> > It would be different if I didn't think I had been doing a pretty damn good job.

> Different how? Either you're violating the confidentiality clause or you're not.

> > I don't believe the sharing of my side of the story was unreasonable or unethical, although I believe the way this was handled by the CF staff was.

> Ultimately the staff decides if you stay or go, whether you advance or stay at a given rank. I assume this was clear from day one. And if it was, how was this handled unethically? You violated a confidentiality clause and that can be pointed to. What did the staff violate by letting you go?

> > It certainly appears that they were trying to save face instead of coming out in the open.

> Save face over what? I'm guessing you think there was some cover-up going on...?

> > The original post was removed because the Immortals emailed Dioxide and insisted upon it. He apologized to me for having to remove it per a prior agreement with them.

> If Dioxide disagreed he could have done whatever he wished. If what you say is true, note that he chose to honor an agreement despite the fact that he had nothing to lose if he didn't.

> > This was not something I wanted to rehash, and I had no desire to hint at conversations with the Implementor that I spoke with, as I do hold quite a bit of respect for him, but I wont be called unethical without responding.

> You'll certainly find a chance to prove that in January when you join the Macheath/Matraien/Dev/Challen MUD that is rumored to be in the works. This wasn't the first time you violated the confidentiality rules, but I certainly hope it was the last.
