Termitewatch 36 - Missing, presumed Penguined

Alarm seems to be spreading over the fate of one of our favourite termites, Justin "CITC" Horton. Over at the Bedlam Brigade site, his article about the Austrian racism allegations (one where he took nearly 5,000 words to say that nobody should say anything on the subject!), together with all of the accompanying 25 comments, has suddenly disappeared. Instead, it has been replaced with a picture of the old BBC test card (considerably more informative, by the way...) and a laconic message from one of Horton's fellow inmates, which reads

This post temporarily removed pending EJH's return to the internet

What could have happened to our Justin? Has the Spanish equivalent of BT cut off his internet connection? Or have the men in white coats come for him again? And why just this one post? After all, none of his other ramblings have disappeared. Could it be that someone has posted a comment that the free-speech loving Bedlam Brigaders don't like? Perish the thought!

Either way, the news brought a devastating response from Peter Sowray, one of the few sane people who still contribute (albeit rarely) to the Egregious Chess Forum. He wrote

Very suspicious indeed.

I always thought that these S&B bloggers were trying to hide something.

Personally, I blame Ray Keene. My sources tell me that he has broken off from his attempts to frame Julian Assange, imprison Pussy Riot and organise the bombing of Iran, to kidnap poor Justin and subject him to the inhuman torture of having to go through all of Ernie Lazenby's Forum posts and correct all the spelling mistakes.  On that basis, we shouldn't expect to hear from Justin again any time before Christmas 2015, at the earliest.
