From the more technically adept I'd like to know some things:
1) Is it possible to have a password captured to the Blogger account?
2) Can posts be removed by complaints?
I'm just curious. Am a little dazed as well. This is just general information I need...

From the more technically adept I'd like to know some things:
1) Is it possible to have a password captured to the Blogger account?
- not possible by normal persons if you are using your own computer as that eliminates the risk of Keyloggers. Even google/ good sites do not store the password, thats why they can only give you a new password instead of retrieving the older.
- Unless some chinese hackers think you are Dalai Lama's side and they bother to hack your account !
2) Can posts be removed by complaints?
- My roommate is in Google Operations team only (though he is in Adwords, not in orkut/other teams). He is not very sure about the policy on blogs but for ads he says that all such abuse requests are manually processed after crossing threshold of abuse count. Subsequently, if found to be bad, they(those ads , in this case) can be removed.
@Vimal I think u gave wrong answers.
Actually, the answers are these..
1)Is it possible to have a password captured to the Blogger account?
There is less to zero probability that someone has captured ur passwd.(Knowing about u sir).This could have come from the Keyloggers as Vimal mentioned or 3 other ways:
i)Someone having access to ur comp datamine to get ur passwd.
ii)Someone ur network->probably the wifi admin if u use Wireless or IPC admin if u use the internet provided by campus have sniffed through ur data.
iii)Someone stole ur cookies through Social engineering or may be the ppl in (ii) have done it.
2)Can posts be removed by complaints..
Yes, If someone files a DMCA complaint u can get ur post removed. Sometimes, even if the complaint is wrong they will be removing just to ensure safety. Incase, you feel u want to counter it, you can counter that using this link http://www.google.com/blogger_dmca.html#counter
That link has some more info about DMCA.

@ Lucky : point (ii) seems tough as passwords go over https and I think IPC admins are intelligent enough only to capture at most Gtalk chats as they by default go over http(as they did for that SWD password leak time during our PS 1).
Thanks for the DMCA info.
@ Anurup Sir: Its also possible that your password was the same for one of the campus services.
Vimal and LuckyMurari, thanks for your inputs. I have read them over many times. I guess I can't change much now, but I'll keep all that you said in mind.
