Came to the comments to post exactly this. +1 "I got banned but did nothing wrong" rant on the Internet. If OP reads this he should ammend or retract the statement to avoid wasting the time of others.
Thanks for that feedback. I've amended that part as you suggested, both to clarify that I'm not as concerned with losing social media capabilities on G+ as I am with everyone I email or text seeing "NULL" instead of my name now, and also to own the fact that I indulge briefly in exactly such a ban-rant after all.
