As mysteriously as it began, today the suspension of the @magisterrex Twitter account was ended. Why was it suspended in the first place? Clearly someone thought a rule was broken, but which one? The email response from Twitter contained two sentences: ”It looks like this issue has been resolved. You may wish to review the Twitter Rules, located at twitter.com/rules.” This seems to be Twitter’s only response to questions: go and review the rules; if you don’t know which rule you transgressed, too bad. You think eBay or PayPal have terrible communication skills? Nothing matches Twitter for sheer indifference. All in all, what a bizarre experience this has been. Unfortunately, judging from the response time and lack of notice or explanation, this will happen to someone else again. Soon.
It ain't over 'till it's over. Oh, wait. It's over.

Glad to have you back!
