Re: Wait a minute.
Largely correct, yes. A blanket ban was put in place and then PAD clarified, as per the post above. It was put to the community then, along with his quote, for discussion and the general opinion seemed to be that the ban was better off staying in place.
The fact is that, while he appeared willing to work with us on work he held the rights to, his stance on his work for hire hadn't changed. Most likely he still feels he's morally in the right to report any post made here to the copyright holders, Marvel, DC, whoever.
And the fact that this kind of discussion crops up every time PAD is mentioned suggests that we're definitely better off not talking about him at all. I don't think the community as a whole is capable of just judging his work now without people feeling aggrieved at him (rightly or wrongly).
