  a contrary follower has launched a personal vendetta against one of the posters on Spirit Train Chronicles (who happens to be my son) by opening her own blog, showing a Google map with aerial view of our home address, and offering ‘personal’ advice, with request for help, to take down the poster. The map needs to be removed as it is a violation of privacy and has resulted in strangers coming to ‘visit’ at all, hours, including overnight!
  Please advise! Go to this page to view the Google map link:
  http://just5100.temp.domains/~valiantk/

  the link to the map is on the right hand side further down: https://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=sfsf+sfsf+sfsdf
  I will report this to the local authorities if this does not stop. Including the perpetrators in Western Australia (I was told the IO was from that area), and ours in South New Jersey!
  my email is: (email visible only to moderators and staff)
  please do NOT share this!
  Thanks, LG

  We can’t help you as https://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=sfsf+sfsf+sfsdf seems to be an invalid link and http://just5100.temp.domains/~valiantk/ is not on the WordPress.com platform.

  I opened it without problems….and saw my home address with an aerial view!
  And this person’s blog does say ‘Proudly powered by WordPress…at the bottom of the page.
  Valiant Apollo Ceres The Watchers Knock Knock / Proudly powered by WordPress

  http://just5100.temp.domains/~valiantk/

  is it the url that is the problem?

  Hi there,

  That site is not hosted on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider. If you click on the “Powered by WordPress” text in that site’s footer you’ll see it takes you to WordPress.org, not WordPress.com.

  Please contact the hosting provider for that site, which appears to be Unified Layer, if you believe they have posted information on that site that violates your privacy. We’re not able to help with this as we have absolutely no control over that site.
