Of course you ticked the box - we all did. If we didn't, then we wouldn't be here. West lakes actually asked "you did read them before ticking the box, didnt you?"
I don't know both sides of the story either, however I'm afraid I agree with the motion that this is what they deserved. You can't slag your employer and your customers (who pay your wages) off on an international website where all you say is linked to your name (therefore identifying yourself) and expect to get away with it. There is a time and a place for expressing grievances... In my experience, its down the pub with your mates...
