The screenshots were from Google Reader. Meaghan has indicated elsewhere that the posts had been deleted, and the GReader posts are simply a history of what little activity there had been there.

Have a look at those posts. One from March 14th says outright that it's not being used as a blog:
DONT FOLLOW ME
I AM NOT A REAL TUMBLE BLOG
That guy has an active blog on Tumblr as Tumbledore. He clearly was using that account as an alternative dashboard, which is legit, but certainly doesn't need a special domain. I could see being put out a little bit about losing the domain, but his histrionic proclamations of oppression are a severe over-reaction. They have the smell of self-entitled internet personality.
I have little doubt that Tumblr exhibited more diligence in investigating this matter than was due Tumbledore for taking back a domain on their service. That domain a) had only been used as a convenience account, not for publishing anything, and b) that only in the distant past. Add to that c) it was occupying a subdomain that matches the trademark of another customer whom had requested it, and d) they gave him a reasonable opportunity to appeal. 72 hours does seem unnecessarily brief, but in this case it's immaterial.
