Hi, I read and appreciated your whole post; you show good insight and investigative abilities. I couldn't find what you displayed through searching; and, I can't say that I would have thought to try it, if you hadn't pointed it out that it could be found, and how you whittled it down. I tried, just for the exercise of searching.
I may be wrong, but, I don't think that contrarian views were what caused it to be removed. Again, I may be wrong! I think it was probably the possibility that you may have led others, to the discovery of "Kevin's" full name. Possibly not even posters here, as the site always has non-member readers.
I think the board doesn't want 'non-responsible' parties to be identified publically on the board, whereas, some unknown person could use that information for 'whatever' reason.
That, at least, is my assumption. But, thanks for your post(s). (this thing keeps telling me to lengthen my message by at least 5 characters *&!%#!) (fwiw: I figured out why that happened; I started typing, and had tried to insert my response before the "Prov. 11:14")
