This is another example of a random ban, only solved because the victim was able to make enough noise. On tech fora like HN, nobody is surprised. But even my non-techie friends are starting to notice this might happen to them too. Google is, in the public eye, slowly but surely turning from a rock solid partner into a rug that might be pulled from under your feet without any notice.

So I am wondering what the Google decision makers thinking about this Are they hoping they can sweep it under the rug? Do they even notice? Or is this a big-corporation case where the hind legs of the dinosaur have been kicked, but the brain is still to far away to notice?
