    Reasons for closing are a limited: "This question is attracting too much derailling answers" is not existing, So the CM picked one to be able to concentrate on more pressing actions.

  • There is so much happening and I have like 30 tabs open following everything at the same time.

    Well, technically, that reason fits. The question is not about the software that powers the Stack Exchange network.

  • It should have been closed. I think primarily opinion based would be a better reason, as the violations (or alleged violations, if you'd rather) took place in a private forum and in private e-mails. So all we can do is speculate.

    I don't think "this question is attracting too much attention" was ever in itself a legitimate reason for closing. Protecting maybe. And "primarily opinion based" is for questions without an objective answer, not questions where an objective answer exists but is plausibly unsharable. (I do hope that SE has a list of specific, unambiguous violations, and I'm sure everyone shares this view)

    Awsome! This question is now a duplicate of the question it asks about. Did we just create a wormhole? @RobertHarvey

    @RobertHarvey Yes I do. I went to the duplicate link and the page does not contain an answer to the question asked here.

  • @RobertHarvey - I'm sorry. I submitted a flag requesting assistance with the deletion before you stepped in to help me rescue the question. It seemed you were interested in getting a better answer. Perhaps you would like to repost it in some shape or form. I'm going to work on my Day of Silence post now....
