Only you can see this post. It’s been removed because it goes against our Professional Community Policies.
The timing of that post is vaguely consistent with the blocking of Morris-Cotterill's account.
Exactly how does it breach LinkedIn's policies? There is no useful information, only a list of things that, vaguely, LinkedIn doesn't like.
So, after a month, it seems that there is more to the story than LinkedIn was willing, or able, to admit.
For one, it proves that its systems do not understand context and that no sensible human reviews its decisions.
As Morris-Cotterill often said: computerised processes should only function under adult human supervision.

About this section
Opinion pieces or "Op-Eds" are the home-made bombs of the publishing world. So long as they meet editorial standards, are not intentionally offensive with a view to causing hurt or insult and are relevant to our field of endeavour, we will look at submissions.
We like contentious, we like contrarian views. We don't like pretty much any -ism . We recognise that Opinion pieces are one person's view and are not balanced (if they are balanced and reach a reasoned conclusion, they are probably more suited to the Articles section). We do not like acronyms and buzzwords.
Op-Eds are the author's personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of World Money Laundering Report or its publishers.
