I fully understand the Sub Judice thing but once again we have moderating without moderation.
A note to explain why a post has been removed would not take all day to do, and failing to offer any kind of explanation just makes it all look very fishy.
Reasonable as it is to remove the topic that GtE started this morning, although he was only posting what was placed in the public domain by the courts, the fact that it was "quietly" binned makes it look a bit seedy.
