Why did my post in the last monster thread get deleted?
It was the one with some biographical info about Oscar Hilt Tatum, IV, all publicly available on the internet. There was nothing scandalous (I even stated as much in the post), no speculation, nothing. It was just a post more or less summarizing things that had been posted in other posts. Then this morning I wake up to "Post deleted by Mat Sklansky". Why? Whose interests do you think were compromised by the post and what is worth "protecting"?
I'm one of the "good guys" in this whole ordeal, and I would have expected at least a PM explaining why something that took me a good deal of time to put together was zapped.

Did the post contain photographs?

It contained ONE -- and it was a picture that was generously provided by his mother-in-law who thought her daughter's lavish French wedding was worth writing a feature story about for the Dec. 30th, 2006 issue of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper (and including pictures). I'd provide the link here, but now I'm worried about it getting censored.
Fine, let's agree that posting links to personal wedding albums might be a tad inappropriate (even though the pic from MY post was NOT from a private wedding album, but rather on a newspaper's website), but I can't see what the objection would be to merely posting pictures of the fine gentlemen who are the head honchos at the online poker room so near and dear to us:
EDIT: I just read the first post in this thread, stating that pictures of Oscar Tatum Hilt are not allowed, even while they may be accessible on the St. Petersburg Times' website. Fine. Google him if you care all that much. I removed his picture but have left up that of Scott "ban-stick" Tom.
