Filing Lawsuit against Twitter Platform Operations - Any other mistreated developers welcome.

Filing Lawsuit against Twitter Platform Operations - Any other mistreated developers welcome.

I, like many 3rd party Twitter developers, have been grossly mistreated by Platform Operations. I had a very successful application suspended for breaking a rule that I misunderstood because the rules were vague in that area. As a result, even though I fixed the issue immediately, @rgenkins from Platform Operatinos has permanently suspended my application.
He took it a step further too - I had several different Twitter apps. He permanently suspended ALL of them.
Not only that, he took it further. I am supposedly no longer permitted to ever use the Twitter API ever again.
And even further, any website that I own, even completely unrelated and not even Twitter apps, is permanently blocked from ever being shared on Twitter.
This has cost me tens of thousands of dollars thus far and I have sent every ticket, every e-mail, and every conversation I have had with Platform Operations to my attorney (who has a great track record if you're wondering). After reviewing everything and reviewing Twitter's rules and API guidelines, he believes I have a good case for a lawsuit. @rgenkins is going way beyond what he can and should be doing for a developer having one minor infraction of the rules and he knows it. At this point all I am asking for is to have my app reinstated with the assumption that I will no longer break the rules (which is obviously acceptable to me). But, since Platform Operations will not agree, I had no choice but to see what an attorney had to say about it.
He recommended I make an effort to find other developers who have been mistreated to add to the case. So, feel free to contact me if you fit the bill.
Thanks!
