Thanks in advance.
I wasn't kicked out, but my monthly earnings were "adjusted" (to the term of about 50% less) because "I was clicking my own ads".

I got the nastygram from them, and since I was a bit irked that not only do they blindly accuse me of trying to bolster my stats, they provided no actual proof. As it turns out, my site is popular where I work (a company of over 30,000 people), and I come from a standard .mil domain, so every other .mil address that clicked an ad on my site was assumed to be me.

So I did the noble thing. I chewed them a new one, and got an apology and my full due payment. Don't back down if you feel you're in the right. You are doing their advertisers a favor in giving them ad space on your hosting. Keep that in mind.
