Foxy, Lebowski most likely deleted the posts himself.

He posted in off topic that he no longer felt his presence was appreciated on the forum because  of his percieved trouble with some other posters here. He stated repeatedly, even in his best DD posts, that he was being persecuted for his past actions. I do not feel this to be true, but was what he stated.

It was his choice alone and did not involve any of the present 3 Hub Leaders.

IMO, of course
