  There is a blog that is spreading lies and slandering the country I come from, our culture and history, in very crude, harsh way, with photographs of real people having captions underneath. For example, an old lady in a market who has no idea her picture is on the Internet, has a caption saying “Hey, granny, when was the last time you changed your panties?”

  I want it to be shut down asap because it is totally unacceptable. How can that be done?

  And how can a blog with such content even be posted on wordpress? I don’t think it’s freedom of speech to swear at a country and its people.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you clear on what freedom of speech is? Please read the information at the links I provide because blogs aren’t deleted for reasons like you describe above.

  Thanks for the links, timethief! I suppose it makes sense about rather speaking out against a blog than shutting it down completely to have a more public debate, but it’s still a shame that people use freedom of speech to slander others rather than talk about important issues.

  Thanks also of the abuse form, I will try that, hopefully it will work.

  You’re welcome. I have a lot of life experience and it’s my observation that those who deafme other people, rather than focusing on the issues, only attract readers of the same ilk. They rest of us simply shun such blogs so they have very little infuence among the general internet populace.
