Snipped a lot of stuff to get to the crux.

So you’re not denying that you did in fact pass around unannounced information? (regardless of source, it was unannounced, right?)

   The web site included item numbers, release dates and some picts. Perhaps you need to get out more.

Irrelevant. Was it unannounced at the time?

If so, are you saying that as a LEGO employee you think it’s OK to pass around information that LEGO doesn’t yet WANT public? Regardless of whether you signed an NDA or not, is that behaviour that is the mark of a good employee? If you DID sign an NDA I bet it’s a pretty clear cut violation, one that is grounds for swift termination.

Regardless of whether Ascential Confidential info is or isn’t already leaked somewhere else, I would take a dim view of an Ascential employee that did that with Ascential confidential information, and would support their termination about as fast as they could be marched out of the building.

I think maybe you’ve now (perhaps inadvertantly) admitted the real reason you were terminated, that you disregarded LEGO’s desire to keep new product information confidential and propagated it further. (however it was that you obtained it) Isn’t that really what it was? All this LUGNET stuff is just a red herring, isn’t it?

My assessment: you’re just looking for sympathy because you messed up, and you found a convenient whipping boy who happened to make a joke, (me) to try to hang your problems on.

THAT’S pathetic, if it’s true. Is it?
