Probably because he's worried that if he brings the subject up and somebody gets hold of a couple names there'll be a return to the hanging parties that have happened recently, something I doubt he would want to be associated with regardless of the reasons.

Higher car insurance because of joy riders and thieves. Higher house insurance because of burglars. Armed police because of gun toting idiots with no social conscience? The masses are always punished for the actions of a few because essentially in the end it is the masses that encourages the few. Would people have used the morphs in characters for sale if there wasn't a feeding frenzy over new characters? Who's to blame? Those who have done the dirty on Traveller, or those who have unwittingly paid them to do it?
