Falsely Reported Twice As Posting Offensive Content On Facebook

Twice in the past few weeks, someone has reported my Facebook content as offensive. This time, the second time, they have blocked me for up to a week but, they say, next they will delete my account. The biggest problem is that I have no idea what the supposed content may be. My friends think it's a joke as I am the straightest person they know and I am worried that either it will happen again or that someone has a vendetta against me. The worst part is, there does not appear to be any recourse for me. I can't see any way of justifying myself or defending myself. My page settings are extremely private, so it must have been someone on my friends list. I am really worried that my account will be cancelled without me ever knowing why. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any thing I can do?

You're right; there doesn't seem to be a way to combat a report. You may write or phone Facebook, but whether they'll respond to your concerns is another matter. Here's the contact information:
