Seriously?

I have a couple of blogs with wordpress and though I do not update them on a regular basis, every now and than I will still have the sudden impulse and inspiration to post something in my blogs and one of them in spite of its not being regularly updated is still quite active and has a large viewership, being that it deals with topics which are popular these days. Primarily that of Vampires, Werewolves, Mythology, and themes relating to the Occult and the Gothic.
And the other blog is lesser known and has been dormant for some time because I keep forgetting to update it, and is dedicated predominantly to sharing my Pagan themed poetry and has a few other things.
So anyway, today I went to log into my Wordpress account and got a message saying my account had been suspended which I thought was quite strange, for I could not imagine any reason why. I had not received any notifications for having done anything wrong nor received any complaints.
At first I thought perhaps they had suspended my account for being inactive for such a period of time. I could not find anything on wordpress to explain the cause of what happened.
I went to open up my blogs to see if I could figure out something and the one more popular blog was still up and running with no indication of there being any problems with it, and when I tried to open my other blog I had a message saying that it was no longer active because it violated the Terms of Services but there was no specifications of how, and I could not possibly imagine what could have been in that blog to violate the rules.
As mentioned of above it considered predominantly of my own poetry and I did also post works by classical (now public domain) poets which I thought reflected Pagan themes, as example I posted some of Sappho's works, and I posted stuff by some of the Romantics. Nothing that was copywrite protected.
Sometimes I would post images to accompany the poetry, but again, the images I posted were either my own artwork, or classical works of art which are part of the public domain.
I cannot think of anything I could have posted on that blog which would be a violation of any copywrite laws, now can I possibly think of any of the content on the blog could violate any of the other rules. It just did not make sense to me.
Particularly since that blog I had not even updated in a long time and it hardly is even viewed by anyone and does not have a lot of activity.
And because my account was suspended though my other blog is still up and running and apparently without any problems I cannot log into my account at all so now I cannot have access to my blog that is still running.
So I sent a message to contact support on wordpress expressing my dismay on what possible rule my blog could have violated and asking them if they could explain to me, as well if they could allow me to sign back into my account so I still can access my other blog.
I haven't heard anything back yet as well they say that it can take up to three days for them to respond.
