I don't know anything about the author, but has he done anything to enrage the G?
If this is truly just a random account disablement, then it would seem that Google needs to augment their customer support accessibility and procedures. If the author is/was somehow "competing" with Google on some level, or making anti-G remarks, I would be curious about such details.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I trust your response, which means that this is truly an oddly random event, and indicative (IMO) of Google not being truly ready for things to lose the "beta" icon.
If the author is/was somehow ... making anti-G remarks
Are you saying that would have been a fair reason to suspend his accounts?
At Justin.TV, one of the things I'm proud of is that we clearly communicate the things that can get your account suspended. Making "anti-Justin.TV remarks" is certainly not one of them!

What is the other half of this story?

I think there is more to this story.
I have not done anything I know to be wrong, or even border line.
Also, I've been a long time google supporter and that's why I've used so many of their products.
Even if someone did make "anti-G remarks" (Which I have not afaik), I don't think that would be reason to disable their account.
I understand your skepticism - it was exactly my response when I heard it had happened to some other people a few months ago.

Not saying it would have been fair, saying it would have been understandable, even if the decision logic used was faulty.
