Sometimes free help comes with an unexpected cost. Unfortunately, this story from "GRITS" shows that even if you're only "roommates" in a virtual site, you can have a falling out that's hard to resolve:
I am a nun who had begun a homestead site of prayer for deceased individuals. People could send the name of their loved ones to me and I would send them a pray. The site also kept their prayers published. Along comes a woman web designer and wants to help (since it was free from her I welcomed the help) she put a few touches to my web page that were nice and I liked them. After 9/ll we had a falling out and she claimed ownership of the site because of her work on it. I became ill and she took it over totally routing inquiries to her father's similiar website. After asking her several times to take my name off of the original page she won't do it.
I am no longer at that address and no longer working the site. I can't even get her to talk to me. Our problems started when she wanted to put things on the page that I did not want there. Like a e-card service, etc. The page is still out there with my name on it and she won't take it off. I would desparately appreciate someone helping me get my name off that page.
This is a tough one as the Web designer isn't answering GRITS's emails. If the Web site is causing GRITS problems, I would suggest trying to find a lawyer who might write up a letter pro bono asking her to remove the name. Another option might be to contact the hosting provider and ask them for help in mediating.
