This is a blogger’s nightmare: an anonymous, uninformative letter tells you ‘somebody’ complained about ‘something’ on your blog, so your provider froze it and locked you out….
No info on what the offending material was…
No means to remove it…

Read about his struggle – and the still ongoing battle others are engaged in. It is informative. There are whole companies ‘out there’ making a living by harassing bloggers…
(FYI – This is why most bloggers start out anonymously. Unlike journalists, we do not have any employer to shield us from harassment, lawfare, or worse. Only after a blogger develops a regular readership and the online support network that goes with it do we dare reveal our real-life names.)
