This. It almost doesn’t matter what the criticism was anymore, because they were attempting to knowingly post for a banned user. This would have also gotten the other authors banned in other communities. The moderators were surprisingly lenient in not banning the other authors from the EA forum and EA events.
They cowrote an earlier draft with Torres, and then, after removing Torres because of complaints, posted a later draft. There doesn’t even seem to be any evidence here that they were collaborating with Torres on this after Torres’ ban (though there might exist evidence I am unaware of). I think it would have been better to disclose that Torres used to be involved, but I think it would have been overly draconian to ban the post (even more so the poster) over earlier input from someone banned. EA did a good job here because they didn’t ban the authors.
