Jillian,
Maybe I was hasty in my commentary, but I have spent time reading so many
we're sorry statements by companies that I've become slightly jaded. Blame

*Bernard* - I get where you're coming from, I just do truly believe (and
perhaps because I know and trust a lot of their staff) that Twitter is

for users in court, etc. (see:

disgraceful.
Adams used publicly available information like this:

account?

Bernard,
1. Not reading a post and then pontificating on assumptions is pretty lame.
2. EFF Legal is not on this, because Twitter is well within their legal
rights to suspend a user for any reason. While I think that sucks, it is,
in fact, the truth.
3. I very much hope that Twitter either

taken away, however, if Adams has said anything defamatory in his
