Ah... good. Things were just cooling off. Definitely need some drama stirred up, here.
And, pray, Omahan and Ms. Elena, to whom would you be referring?

If any of those parties to the sanction choose to confirm the fact that there was a leak of private information, that is solely up to them.
The rules are here for a reason, many of which I have touched on in a previous posting. However, one of the greatest assets of an active board is that when a member violates a confidence "on board" you can be certain that they will cross many more lines IRL.
To think otherwise, is complete folly.
When an indiscretion leads to a sanction here, it isn't taken lightly, nor is a sanction handed down lightly - as such actions can truly make a profound impact upon a lady's business, or prevent a gentleman from enjoying the endeavor.
Obviously, something occurred that was serious enough to lead to a very serious sanction. I have no doubt the action was not taken whimsically, nor do I feel that it will be an isolated incident. usually, there's more to come. However, my speculation is immaterial to fact, and they (the facts) always come out in the end. Generally, the sanctioned party ultimately desires redemption back into the good graces of the board, enough so that they realize that providing the board with the details of whom they may have been given ROS information from (if that is truly what happened in this instance) is important to protect the confidence of the board as a whole, and subsequently, the other member(s), if they exist in this instance, that were party to the action causing the sanction, will generally suffer the same, or worse.
