LJ abuse go ape?

Updated: meta has updated his web page.

meta, who I've known for over a decade but never met, has had his account suspended by the LJ abuse team. Here's his side of the story. Now, in context, the "innocent" act of copying a publically available address from one place to another isn't innocent at all - it reads as an incitement to violence - but nonetheless, it's pretty clear that if things are as he describes them, the Abuse team's response is pretty inappropriate.

I'd like to link to the support request, but we don't have the privs to see it.

Yeah, my feeling is that deleting the comment and saying "Oi! Watch it!" should be the response to a first, mild, offence from an LJ account that's been active since Early Adopter days...
