Let me be clear (customer here) I told him to go fuck himself AFTER he cancelled not only my account, but that of my friend's. And he did this on a few tweets, based on our Twitter handles - had we been using pseudonyms, that could have been a whole different can of worms.

Yes, I got really riled up. Yes, I'm not free from blame. It's kind of ridiculous to delete someone's account based on a personal dispute with no prior notice.

So you supported your friend on Twitter, he cancelled your account, you really took exception, and he deleted your backups to put you in your place.

It boggles the mind.

Personally, in my book, you are free from blame. My wife would have had him bleeding from his eye sockets and watching dark corners for the rest of his life.

You did nothing wrong. It's the Internet: people say fuck.

Some sort of legal action should be brought against your host.

No. Legal action is hell for both parties. Why put yourself in hell? Especially for a $3/month hosting service?

For the enjoyment of seeing the other party in hell.
