Hmm. I do recall you writing similar previously about Marcus, and some folk disagreeing with you. I certainly don't recall anything that warranted removal in your opinions regarding Marcus and was unaware that anything had been removed. But maybe it escalated in ways I missed / have forgotten, such as say in personal reactions to being disagreed with. Quite clearly, well to my mind, there is nothing remotely close to justifiable removal territory in your post here.
I too wish Marcus could find a regular partner. Be interesting to see if any folk think you do have the big issue there or say, as before, do others think Wimbledon was not the issue that you make out. I wonder if he is in general difficult personality-wise to team up with long term rather than his Wimbledon "antics" being so much of an issue in themselves.
Edit: I have just looked at the Wimbledon mixed doubles thread where you made these points about Marcus, indeed in much more detail in unremoved posts, with some folk disagreeing or at least looking at things from a different standpoint, and there is no outward sign of censorship let alone removal. So unless things went a bit awry other than or after the last visible post, or there is some other discussion, then I still don't understand the removal stuff. Certainly not for vews like expressed here or visibly then:

First Indiana, my apologies. If my previous comments re Marcus have not been removed ( I never got back to check all subsequent replies and comments ) then I have clearly got my wires crossed. I do know that at least two comments have been removed on other threads, one of which was just a jokey play on words. I haven't clicked on the link to the thread as I am stuck for time, again! So sorry for that.
Reflecting on your comment, the issue is almost certainly bigger than just Wimbledon, I think I have become a bit obsessed with that, it really did pee me off. Yes, he might well be a bit difficult which might well be a bigger issue.
There are other things I have in mind but that's just opinion and I won't bother here as we will be going round in circles. Let's hope he get's a regular partner for the grass court season where he has a chance of doing well!
I thought Marcus and David Stevensons partnership perhaps had some potential - perhaps a falling out? Not seen together since David pulled out before their R1 match earlier in the season.
I have no idea what has happened there either. They generally did well together and at one point earlier on in David's career Marcus even dropped down from the Challenger circuit to play a couple of Futures with David, at least one of which they won.
Yes I almost got the sense that Marcus was waiting for Davids ranking to get up to a certain level so that they could play Challengers together and see where it took them - unfortunately doesnt seem to be the case.
