Heads up: being sent to the gulag isn’t just for conservative Twitter accounts. Blogger Nice Deb reports that her WordPress blog has been suspended without warning over alleged terms of service violations. Conservative followers, however, suspect an attack by the Left.
@NiceDeb I'm gonna guess 1) U defended free speech too often 2) U criticized #DearLeader one time too many or 3) both. #FreeNiceDeb! #gulag

@texasmamma777 I did call him President Prissypants, yesterday. But I was going light on him for a change.

The conservative community on Twitter, having far too much experience in Twitter jail as a result of unfounded spam reports from offended liberals, has mobilized to restore Deb’s blog.

@PolitixFireball @AaronWorthing @michellemalkin @NiceDeb That happened to me once when *someone* falsely reported my blog as "hate speech."

Update: Deb’s blog has been restored, but with no explanation.

with no explanation for why it was shut down.— Debra Heine (@NiceDeb) September 26, 2012
@NiceDeb Well how can you make sure you aren't violating the TOS if they don't tell you what it was?
