  Facebook isn't perfect, but it's not a sucky site. It's streamlined and efficient, it runs very quickly (especially compared to MySpace or Bebo or Hi5), and it's got a surprisingly slim history of messing things up for people. Yeah, it gets in trouble, but Facebook deals with hundreds of millions of accounts, and it does a pretty damn good job at all of that. Compare to MySpace, which has had incidents of murders, suicides, massive spam, site breakages, page breakages, and a week-long removal of "gay" statuses from their websites, and Facebook's track record is incredible. They've got an impressive team. I've also written to a person who works at Facebook, and he says it's a pretty good job with some brilliant co-workers. I'd be willing to bet that Facebook reinstates this account, similar to the way they reinstated Scoble's. And this is a way way edge case: most people don't write to 900 not-friends. I'm sure Facebook's spam filter picked that up, but I'm just as sure that in a week's time this account will be back and running.
