Updated: [livejournal.com profile] meta has updated his web page.

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

Quoting someone else does not necessarily make the argument ad hominem. After all, you just quoted me--does that mean your argument is ad hominem too?

Also, the fact that material quoted may be inappropriate for the community is not the issue being argued in this case. As I've said, if the community moderator for b0st0n had decided the comment was inappropriate and deleted it, there wouldn't be a problem.
