theprivateman linked to a huge international dating site as part of an interview he did, which is what I think the violation was. (linking to commercial sites and all that). He tweeted last night that it should be just a temporary thing until he can get it sorted out.
Yeah – I saw that. I still think people should get self hosting. I wouldn’t put it past wordpress to use arbitrary rules like such to shut down blogs in the future as the manosphere gets more prominent in the mainstream.

If you write something that pisses someone off, they can always find a technicality to get you on.
True. But if you self host, they have to really go out of their way to do so. It lowers the probability that they’d go through all the effort.
he’s back up. no worries.
Yeah – I saw. WordPress was apparently apologetic too.
Might have been a bit premature – but I standby on my position to self host when possible.
To be fair to wordpress – I’d still suggest using their blog software.
