On her blog she is condemning Turky block’s of wordpress.com. A block which is also based on alleged defamatory blogs containing "slanders" to the Turkish lawyer's client.

The hosting company explicitly says that he wants hoder to remove eveything Hossein has written in any language about Khalaji and never mentions his name ever again, just because they don't have enough resources to figure if they were really defamatory or this is only what Khalaji thinks so. And then removing all those posts without hoder's knowledge from his database. Interedtingly enough, neither the lawyer nor Hosting matters never even gave the chance to Hoder to refute. I can't read Persian unfortunately, but what Hossein says about a mistranslation by Khalaji's lawyer is also worth paying attention. Ultimately, Hossein's point is that he thinks Khalaji is a "traitor" because he is working for the "enemies of his own people and humanity" and I think he is damn right. As a Jew myself, I also think anyone who serves the likes of Perle, Wolfowitz, woolsey, Pipes, Clawson and Rubin is a traitor to humanity. Esra, you are unfair.

I have taken the time to read the e-mail exchange and I am with the Host on this one. He was not collaborating, he was being threatening and arrogant, and for that, he deserves to have his account be terminated. No company should put up with threats, and this one clearly didn't, especially if he had unpaid services with them. Actually, I take that back.

But let's be frank - this is threatening even for the rest of us. Day after day bloggers are being sued for libel even though much of the posts in question are mere criticisms. I would be in favor of confronting him, and even filing a law suit if Khalaji's complaints are entirely valid, but to remove his site? Without fully consulting him about it? I agree that Hoder takes it too far and in that respect he deserves the attacks he receives but not to lose his online presence shouldn't be an option.
