@ lvl13: I am not, nor have I never been the "bad boy" type. Professionalism and sound ethics are of the utmost importance to me. I don't enjoy burning bridges, and I wish I didn't have to do that in the past. But I did it because there were no legal constraints to prevent me, and because without the work I did while employed at _____ design firm, I would've had almost no portfolio to speak of. And I had a family to look after. I couldn't sit idly by and let my former employer hamstring my ability to get work.
There was actually one project from that job that I was really proud of, but it was bound by NDA. I stood by my word and to this day haven't shown it to anyone, either online or in person (besides my wife).
If they had only asked me not to show two or three projects, I would've gone along with that. But what they were asking was that I refrain from showing 90% of the decent work done in my career. No dice.
