If you're running an exit, they probably saw abusive traffic, didn't
like it, and blocked your IP. You could consider not running an exit
relay from home.

If you're running a non-exit, then they're being dumb for blocking your
IP when it is impossible for abusive traffic to come from your relay.
Some webmasters who don't understand Tor do that, but there's not really
anything we can do. Best I can suggest is you try talking to them, which
isn't a very satisfying suggestion, I know.
