This is a heated issue, but please keep the debate civil.

Except for all the communications they DIDN'T reveal during the course of this.
They didn't reveal all the private communications, just some. Selective transparency isn't "without hiding any details".

Without confidentiality parties will always be (over-)thoughtful of how to word every thing they bring forward, thus hindering the flow of the negotiations.
Also, think a company being really hard pressed for money at some point. In a confidential meeting they could explain their position and ask for terms considering their current financial situation.
In a day to day context: If we knew all our words could be put on twitter for everyone to see at any time, I think most conversations would look a lot different

In theory, confidentiality is great.
In practice, when it comes to businesses it is often, (not always) used to cover up for unethical, dishonest, and deceptive business practice where someone is getting screwed.
Which is why I asked for a real life example.
It is also not certain that what Genna did is illegal. In most countries, it is illegal to record a private conversation without the knowledge of one or both of the parties. But Genna didn't record anything, this is where it get's hairy. Take recorded it when he wrote what he wrote and sent it to Genna.
It is up to a judge (at least where I live) to decide if Take had a reasonable expectation for that conversation to remain private, or he could decide that the fact that he put it down in email and sent it to her makes it something that Genna could share. If someone writes me a letter, and I share, do I get in trouble? Often not. Take would have a tough case on his hands, did he make sure no one was looking over his shoulder when he wrote it or Genna when she recieved it (if you have "private conservation" on a street corner, courts often see that as a public conversation)? Did he tell her this was private and not to be shared. Probably not, I didn't see the disclaimer in the emails she posted (yes there is a reason for that disclaimer at the end of someone emails!). Again, that is up to the judge
This is why so much business is done face to face or over the phone.

@takesen I'm sorry that I lashed out at you in anger. You didn't deserve that, you do so much for the scene and I respect that massively.
All right, folks, TB apologized, lets all get a beer and make plans for the Season 2 finals next week.

I'm not one for continuing drama, but a simple twitter apology does not make anything that the two have done over the past several days at all acceptable, neither does it bring back any credibility to Axiom's head's leadership abilities when things go wrong. One twitter apology does not a drama diffusal make.

That apology from TB looks to me a bit ironic

So basically the drama and internet outrage is over when you say its over, not before?

Agreed, but drama diffusion is done by the community turning its back on this incident and moving on. Let's see how long that takes.

You're not one for continuing drama yet you want to continue the drama. What is TB supposed to do? Cut off his ear and offer it to Take? It's way too late to resolve what the dispute was originally about, so at this point it's literally just drama.

I can't give you a real life example...that would breach the privacy of the conversation....jk.
There are countless times in my work experience where actions have been taken private -- and not to "chastise" someone as you put it. Here are a few examples within the last year where I've had 1 on 1 conversations:
With Staff:
- To coach someone on an area where they were falling behind metrics
- To coach someone on the importance of communication (ie, if you're going to be out of office, let team know; or, if you're going to miss a deadline, send out an email letting me know it's going to be late)
- To help a staff member start the process for dealing with a sexual harassment violation from a client
With Clients:
- To discuss the hold up on certain contract terms
- To discuss certain individuals lack of cooperation with a project
- To discuss ending the business relationship
There are countless examples of private communication. That isn't to say that some sort of communication can't/shouldn't be made public. But it's up to both parties to agree on what that communication should be. If that's not done properly then there is a breach of trust and you potentially ruin future relationships as a result...and, if there's evidence that you breached the duty of care you could be on the hook for other repercussions.
I'm not sure why you have such a view that private = "screwed over" but believe it or not, the world is not out to get you.

This saddens me a lot. I'm sorry that some elements of this community are so toxic. I've seen it myself, and in rare cases even been apart of it. Now, I've come to see why so many figures distance themselves from the audience of this scene, and that is because it can be so hurtful, so spiteful, and so, so childish. But we all, even when we realize this, stay because the reward we get from being apart of something so wonderful and representative of a new age, matches and exceeds the pain of such abuse.

it doesnt, but theres nothing more to do here. just need people to get over it now and be excited for wcs

Maybe TotalBiscuit should advertise the ATC finals through his various mediums as a goodwill gesture? I know he apologized, but I bet if he does this extra thing it will seal the deal.

I still want a link to that apology tweet.

This was a kinda embarassing episode. Everybody realizes this was stupid, apologies were given.
We should all just move on instead of trying to rub it in..
