Defamation of Character
-
One of the bloggers on wordpress has written a slanderous post about my family & I, linking it back several times to my WordPress blog. It includes accusations and also links to my personal address. I am requesting removal of the entire post for defamatory attack on my character & the untrue content written. My husband is calling our lawyer in the morning but I thought it might be appropriate to come to the source first. Thank you for your prompt reply and assistance, I don’t have any other way to contact you.

This makes me very uncomfortable as this man has been aggressive to me on Facebook as well. Thank you.

Thanks for that. It looks like that site is not hosted here at WordPress.com so there’s not much we can do, but we can get you pointed in the right direction.
Most hosting providers do have terms of service that can inform what kind of content they will host. Those hosts should also have a way to report a site that may be violating those terms of service.
You can see who is hosting the site and who is the registrant of the domain here:

The company eHosts is no longer in service, so the site would have been migrated to one of these two hosts – you may need to contact both to see which one is hosting the site and to report this:
