Cross-Currents and Rabbi Slifkin

I received an email from a reader tonight claiming they were in contact with one of the members of the Cross Currents blog, who they appear to know personally, regarding the question of Rabbi Slifkin. I have no way of authenticating this, but the reader writes:

[The CC member] wrote R. Slifkin privately supporting him, and has no problem posting to cross currents, just that it can't be posted off the cuff. [The CC member] also laughed at the idea that they are under orders not to talk about it.

1. I, certainly, never intimated they 'were under orders' not to talk about it.
2. Can't be posted 'off the cuff'? Why, how many rabbeim need to look at the wording before they can go public?
