Isn't that sort of the point of the web? Now you can get people kicked off if you don't like who is linking to you?
I don't get it.

Yes this is exactly right. The purpose of a link is to make the user get more detailed information ... IE: if you want to say something about pepsi then you make a link to pepsi's site.
Now the IT staff at pepsi see's your linking to them and they go and look at your page and it's some guy with a pepsi bottle sticking out thier ass. They do not want this type of exposure .. They have the right to protect thier trademark and business and ask that you not link to them.
They try and contact you and find a whois of:
santa clause
12345 main street
moscow russia
They call GoDaddy where your domain is registered at and godaddy investigates.
Upon investigation godaddy cannot reach you they pull your account.
Thus what happened as described above.
