Just a thought...

He's certainly a moron of the moment.

This gem from DS annoyed me.
The only reason Corrie and Emmerdale aren't moved to London is the uproar it would create...mind you there was talk of moving Regional News to Manchester.
Yes, it's not because the cost of moving such huge operations and buying the appropriate land wouldn't be enormous. Not to mention the difficulty in relocating for the key talent or the fact there would be no advantage whats so ever fiancailly or not.

I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons as well.

What comment got David banned?

It's not the same without him.

Well, there's this post which has been edited to "User was warned for this post". And when I spotted that earlier today, David's signature was
David - Stop telling me what to do

Oh, David's gone for a week. That's a shame. It was fun to see people spend hours interpreting him, when really it would seem to be a protest.

Nice of whoever it was to do the 'Banned for a week' text in the same way his signature is.

I think David did that himself, it's only a main forum ban, newsroom etc are still accessible.

To be fair, having read that on TVF, I contacted two people who I believed would know whether this was true and both gave me the distinct impression that it was!
