Maybe I should have clarified exactly where I stood before I jumped in here on something, but as all I wanted to do was to put my opinion out there on something that was bothering me, it didn't seem necessary or relevant. I'm sorry if you feel otherwise, it was my call to make and that's how I saw it.
Yes, you should've clarified where you stood and that would've prevented all these accusations from flying around.
It's professional ethics 101 man. When there's a conflict of interest, or the potential appearance of a conflict of interest, that has to be put out on the table.
Now, if what you're saying is true, that you haven't disclosed information from I2 to the mods, then your only mistake was not being forthright about your relationships there. If you have disclosed info from here, then that makes you a bit of a Benedict Arnold then doesn't it??
