The fully paid and not in dispute account was suspended (disabled) because of the account owner's twitter comments. The account owner then swore on twitter and so his account was further deleted and all backups destroyed. The story hasn't mutated but the details are subtle.

The chain of events, as originally laid out[1], was:

* OP has paypal payment issue with This.

* Friend asks them via twitter "That's not cool. Suspending a friends account because of a minor PayPal dispute? When did you get into doing that?"

* They respond saying "Please mind your own business."[2]

* OP and This* get into a dispute about whether such a response was professional or not.

* Both accounts are then suspended. (This part is unclear from the original account. OP says that is at this point his account was suspended, while friend's twitter implies it had been suspended earlier. My guess would be it was originally supposed to be a temporary suspension until payment was worked out?)

* OP flips out a bit and swears on twitter.

* Backups deleted.
