Interestingly enough, there was a rule violation report (posted by Cannon, no less) on just this subject, which was (probably by some fluke) open to the public to read and reply to, for about one minute.
Then someone probably noticed their mistake and invisibled the thread.
But it's being looked at. Seems like Cannon just banned the both of you until he could figure it out, if I'm remembering the post correctly.
