With two active threads which could be easily construed very negative towards AP by potential customers, I understand why AP wanted to remove the links to AP from its website.
I would have considered that option too if I was in Mike's shoes.
One thread will become a non-issue in a few weeks when AP ship its last pre-order. The other will soon be pushed to the second, third, fourth page because there is not much else to say on the subject until something else happens, hopefully satisfactory to all parties involved.
That last bit is key. Satisfy your customers and you'll want to lead them to where they can talk about you online because they'll give you lots of great free press. But piss them off and you get the opposite effect. So obviously, if some of your customers (not to mention designers and ex employees) are pissed off, you'll want to satisfy them as quickly as possible so that they start singing your praises instead of being pissed off, and you'll also want to provide a link to where they can sing those praises so others can hear those praises sung. But no, that's not how it's done at AP; instead, they cut the link to the place of singing. This makes sense . . . how?
