Removed from Craigslist: Is Writer Talking Dirty?

Craigslist took down my ad for On Being a Shit: Unkind Deeds and Cover-Ups in Everyday Life on June 12, 2008. Here I am a serious writer, eager to share my hard-won insights, and I'm accused of talking dirty. What ever happened to due process?

If the powers at craigslist had read even the first paragraph, they would see that I am not talking dirty. I am informing people about the clever and not-so-clever strategies that people use to cover-up their bad behaviors.

Craigslist did not give me due process. I have no right of appeal. So what do other people think of this censorship and lack of due process?

You can read this book free at http:/www.lulu.com/content/1151441 and see for yourself if I am talking dirty.

I've pasted below the Craigslist notice that my ad was taken down.
