Engineer/hero/entrepreneur Limor "ladyada" Fried was kicked off Facebook and no one will tell her why

A particularly blinkered reading of that might be the excuse; but there are a fair number of people on facebook under the pseudonym that they use for business or performance purposes, mostly without incident; so I’d be very surprised if it’s the real reason.

One 'Dr. Drey", for instance, doesn’t not find his facebook activity curtailed by the fact that he lacks an MD/PhD/etc. and has only a loose association between his legal name and ‘Drey’.

She doesn’t move product in the same volumes, so it is more likely that some anonymous compliance peon has never heard of her; but she’s not wildly obscure.
