I made my feelings known about the way Steve handled the affair in an email to Kevin. Steve not only acted stupidly in deleting the post, but he lied to Admin about what it was he had deleted.
He then went on to lie, and distort the information relating to this matter, in an attempt to cover up his own inadequacies.
I feel sure that Kevin must be embarrassed by Steve's behaviour at times, but as a subordinate, he just has to put up with it.
I've been away on a long weekend, but the last thing I did was email Kevin with regards to the last post I managed on CSCP before being served with a (pointless) 1 year suspension. I tied together Steve's claim that controversial pinned topics had timed out and been deleted to JJ's post that they had in fact been manually deleted by admin, then added Steve's later claim that everything he had said in the forum had been the truth - all to the 'Best of...." thread.
I said to Kevin that I hoped Steve had at least let him see the post before deleting it and requested a justification of the ban on the basis all I had done was quote Steve and JJ's own words (ok, with a comment on certain delusional tendencies cosidering the evidence that was there for everyone to see).
This was the reply..

I've been away since last Thursday and haven't been following the forum. I'll look into this but as today is D Day as far as the decision to pull the plug on the forum it may be irrelevant.
