I'm talking about the ethics as i personally see it, not legal questions.

  Assuming the employer has a policy totally prohibiting

 the internet, the only ethical thing for Foo to do is to remind Baz to edit
 from home.
 This would be true in all situation unless it were specifically part of
 Foo's normal functions to detect & report violations of this policy--and in
 that case i would be concerned whether Foo may have trapped Baz by inducing
 him to violate it.

  Well, let's break this down into slightly
more abstract, essential
 elements
 and questions:

 Users Foo and Baz are in a dispute. Baz edits from work, sometimes. Foo
 realizes this, and says they're going to contact Baz's employer to
 inform
 them of this workplace policy violation.

 Is this a problem?

 Does it matter if Foo and Baz work for the same employer?

 Does it matter if that employer is a government agency?
