This forum has always maintained a degree of anonymity for its users, the rules prohibit personally identifying members, revealing their employment status, etc. 

We removed those posts at the request of a certian HW'r that does not wish to be personally identified.

As we would for anyone else that has been personally identified, either by their own actions or others, and no longer wishes to be.

 Rules can be good. But not sure about this time around. The particular member works for us. The public. He lives a very public life. This is about an aspect of his life and job that would also be public. He seemed to have no issues with anything brought up. In fact I believe it was his choice to respond to this thread and reveal his identity. I guess I dont really agree with the action this time around considering the circumstances.

Hunting Washington forum is not publicly owned, there is no nexus to government.  Your posts and PM's are not subject to FOIA requests. 

We have many public servants on here and they too enjoy a degree of anonymity.  These rules are in place for good reasons and are not subject to debate.

I appreciate the forum's respect for members who wish to be anonymous, allowing people to be agents of their own privacy is a rare privilege these days.

…and that means exactly what, here?  Nobody ‘outed’ him, he voluntarily posted?

Tell me how this is different than Bookface and Twizzler deciding what the truth is??

[KFhunter]

Please read my post more carefully this time, the answer is in there.

…and so one of mine went with it?  I don’t recall requesting it?

I have no idea as I haven't deleted anything myself but I explicitly trust all of our mods to do the right thing, they are long standing and well vetted. 

I have next to zero involvement in these threads nor do I know anyone personally involved.  This is a forum rule about privacy and I and other mods take it very seriously. 

I believe you're chasing waterfalls here.

Call it what you want, what is obvious is that ya’ll are shaping the narrative after the fact.  Just like most on here complain about the mainstream media doing all the time.

Intellectual honesty is one of those things that shouldn’t be on a toggle switch, but it’s not my website.

Carry on.

Why has Mr. Blake's posts in this thread been removed?

My guess is that, being a experienced politician, Mr Blake removed the posts himself.

Well you are way off base, I am the one who removed the posts and cleaned up that topic!

Ok. There was something wrong with what he posted?

One of mine got removed... who cares?   

I don't give a rip who does what.  Just glad to be here.

I am not really bent about it. Just curious. Is that a problem. Am I stirring up trouble by asking simple questions?

Yep. No problem.
