Hey bob: Jill didn't elaborate on what motivated SI to yank the thread. SI is pretty good at curbing blatant stock manipulation by posters. How you deal with defamation of character is probably a little trickier.
They may have decided, it wasn't worth vetting each post for malicious and vindictive content. To avoid a suit, shut 'em down. This is their ballgame and they can do exactly what they want.
They may not be aware that Hunter is still singing the same off key tune here.
