Tiddles, you know full well why I hid your thread and I wrote to you to explain. This thread is a very different kettle of fish and something which you appear to know little about so instead of jumping to delusional, conspiratorial conclusions why don't you just read the thread, and the previous one fully before making yourself look silly?
The initial thread was locked by my on the advice of the investigating officers, not a decision that was taken lightly by me. I don't know what other big fish you are referring to, this is my pond and as I explained in my messages to you, my aim is to keep my business out of trouble and not get sucked into pointless legal battles.
The initial thread was locked due to the fact that people we trying to discuss case specifics on there. The thread was initially created when the news about Darren Upton had been first arrested and charged. The initial post from a forum member was initially hidden while I investigated with the police and was then made visible again when confirmed. When case specifics were being discussed on the thread though we closed as it could have affected the court case. At the time I was also told that the police may come and interview me due to the information on the forum.
When the size of the problem became evident I allowed a new thread to remain as long as case specifics were not posted. I discussed this with the investigating officers first to make sure we did not jeopardise the case in any way. Since then myself and the mods have worked to keep the thread open by making sure nothing was posted that could affect the case.
So here I am, on a Saturday afternoon, replying to your post instead of finishing lunch with my family. The mods and I have our acts together as far as I am concerned, your suggestion that we don't is slightly annoying. We work very hard to keep this board open for the benefit of the contracting community so a word of thanks rather than unwarranted and untrue accusations would not go amiss
