-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The Steam mods were told (I believe) to remove any and all posts dealing with the incident. That's just common procedure there, and if posts are being deleted (as they are when it comes to this entire incident from personal experience), than something beyond a mere rumor must be going on. It's quite obvious that this isn't something Valve wanted to get out.
