From the sound of it, unless you've done something stupid like use the same password on their site as your WP.com blog, they cannot do anything more than whine. You are invulnerable.

the truth is i am so used to them doing what they want and getting away with it on their forums when i was a member that i am thinking they have power outside the forums,
all the deformation and such was against me, my only posts on their were the links i posted to my blog, i was never interested in slanging matches
you would not believe the kind of abusiveness i received for it then i was banned
it is unbelievable that not they but
i was banned!
i think they are angry now because i did actually reply not with slander but with the truth in one very long post which exposed them and that forum for what it and they were doing.
then they had a love fest with each other to make themselves sound reasonable to anyone who happened on the forum
but in that post i predicted they would tear each other apart which they did and then all had a love fest congratulating themselves on their greatness in contribution to the forums,
they deleted all my posts there so they were not exposed,lol.
it was so funny to watch them.

as my posts were not extraordinary to the usual posting habits of others on those forums, and in fact were of some substantial substance unlike most of the opinions and plain silliness of other posters on those forums.
After a recent post which i think was so good i just had to share it with the queen community as it shows an actor who looks exactly like Freddie Mercury, in such a powerful and totally winning way, they banned me again.
So my intention was never to bother them, in fact i am surprised by the reaction of the ring leaders of that forum which is queen zone who seem to wield an abusive gang power over everyone their, and i guess it is based upon a kind of jealousy of my work on the biopic cast.
Anyhow, now i see they are organising to claim i am a spammer.
I am not and it never was intention, frankly i am surprised they were not interested in the subject.
what can i do now they plan to try and take my blog down.
I do not intend to share anymore of my blog posts with these people by the way.

His page said he encouraged free and open speech yet blocked any comments by anyone White. I reported it as a hate page. I didn't realize it till I just got the email, but WordPress apparently supports the right to have hate speech pages as a freedom of speech issue.

So why can't I put nude pictures on here? Isn't that free speech, too? Why is hate speech not offensive but nudity is?

I wanted to know if you could do anything to punish this website (deleting it is the best solution) because if you look of what they're saying, it is trully racism, and racism could be punished by the law. And as a Belgian guy, seeing hate like that, and see that nothing is done to stop that, it is really sad for me, it hurts to see comments like that on his country. Thank you for your comprehention,

They cannot trigger your emotions, unless you allow them to do so. You can handle online attacks effectively.

If you enable blog subscriptions by email there is no way to block any subscribers, other than changing your blog’s visibility to “private”.

Comment Moderation – If you have a subscriber you do not wish to post any comments from then you can set up comment moderation up on this page > Settings > Discussion. Then you can screen comments and mark them as “trash” or “spam”, if indeed they are spam.

You can set your blog so that first time commenters are held in moderation till approved, then from that point forward they will not need approval. Settings > Discussion. The next step on that of course is to set it so that all comments are held in moderation until approved. That way you are in control, and they might just get tired and go elsewhere after a while.

Comment Blacklist – Also note on that same page > Settings > Discussion you have the ability to comment blacklist. This will send all comments from that individual directly into your spam queue.

do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.
