Hi David,
Eduard broke his NDA and was expelled from our internal testing team recently. His attitude has been unacceptable and while his feedback might have been OK if worded differently, he chose not to do that. This is the same thing others have been banned for (not by my request, I have pretty thick skin and frankly don't care how it's worded - but this isn't my forum, it is ISI's forum). It's also the same thing others have NOT been banned for, if they conduct themselves in an appropriate way when giving all kinds of feedback, positive or negative.
I was asked by others inside ISI to ban him from our public forum, and did so. The blame you have laid solely on my shoulders consists of me doing what I was asked to do.
The ban was extended to be permanent after Eduard himself said: "I don't want to have anything to do with them, simple as that." - I'm simply taking the information he provided me with to end the matter, by doing exactly what he said he wanted.
Thank you for your understanding.
Tim
Nope, you banned him for a few months yesterday (2 or 3), and once you saw what I did here, you extended his ban to 2016, as Eduard copy/pasted here few messages above. And you textually said on Twitter "When I EXTEND to long ban, usually due to an immature reaction to short ban, I don't bother.", hence my comment about the incompetency, which has little to nothing to do about ISI insiders wanting to give him a (short) ban.
