		<description>I think it's great that you want to take down a blog that's using your name and your pictures without your permission. As public as a blog may be, it's still YOURS and we should not let people violate our rights just because we're online.

Having said that, what I don't understand if the following: If I don't want people messing with my privacy I do not use Google's blog (and I don't even want to chance it). Because the fact that you can bann anonymous people from making comments or deleting the comments that you consider offensive, insulting, abusive....... doesn't change the fact that anyone can read what you're writing and write about it or against it or do whatever in another blog.

Google is not the only one with blogging service:
&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;LiveJournal.com&lt;/a&gt;
GreatestJournal.com&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="http://wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;WordPress&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>First, I want to say that yours is one of the most unique &#038; creative comments ever written by any commenter here.  The very same stupid words have been used countless times by jerks as lame as you or worse.  So thanks for breaking new ground.  Don't you lame-os ever come up with anything interesting to say?

Though thanks for the advice about the lawyer though I'd already mentioned I've consulted one &#038; will continue to do so.  I may actually have this letter sent by a lawyer on firm stationery.</description>

		<description>First, I think you're an ass. While you may not hate Israel and the Jewish people, you are a "useful idiot", who plays into the hands of our mortal enemies. 

However, if you want results on getting that blog taken down, you're probably better off having a lawyer write the letter.</description>
