So much for that media empire.

Could this be proof that you actually can be too offensive on the internet? That there might actually be a limit after all?

That was the Big Weakness in his master plan to demolish Big Media — depending on a Big Medium to market his blog. If he had stayed within the bounds of the TOS, he might have been able to keep his Twitter account, but he got too cocky. And oops! Discovered the fatal flaw in his great plan.

It’s like a Greek tragedy — protagonist with too much hubris gets smacked down by the indifferent universe. I’m thinking Agamemnon as a fitting parallel here.
