Why did the Paul Phillips WSOP TOC Thread get deleted?

I've been out all day but would have been interested in Paul's thoughts and assume others are too. If the deleted thread did in fact cover the free, previously undisclosed entries given to Chan, Hellmuth, and Brunsun into the 2005 WSOP TOC event then I'm curious as to how Paul and other posters "crossed the line".

The post on this subject in Paul's blog certainly seems reasonable.

There was no crossing the line, just a person delivering his opinion on a WSOP tournament, Binions and ESPN. In fact it was just another well thought out PP post. I don't think it was removed because of his original post, rather some of the harsh replies that unsued.

I'm really upset about the moderators' choices and I don't know why .. it's just an internet forum. I can't state in words how mad I am (for some obvious reasons more then others). Rules are fine but when did it become not OK to talk about how you feel (your opinion) in an engaging manner?
