Do we really need another thread where people speculate about a crime? I think we need to leave this topic alone until investigations are completed, particularly since there are forum members who know the involved/accused parties personally.
I think it is just human nature to wonder what has happened esp when it is a to do with a subject which holds a lot of importance to many.
Many did donate etc so the situation may be feeling even more personal to them. Some may actually have a inner need to discuss things and how they feel about all what has occurred.
Some may even be feeling actual grief over the loss of info which may be highly important to them. (I hate the idea myself that what info they had has been stolen even thou I personally do doubt XMRV is the course of our illness but that info stolen still very valuable and its a great loss).
I dont think anyone can conclude anything thou but currently closing threads like this wont help any who may be feeling a grief over the whole situation and may feel an inner need to talk about it. Probably best to allow threads on this subject to run their course (or anger over this whole situation could end up being expressed in forums more in the long run if people are bottling up their feelings over the incident).
