Post Removed Regarding Solicitors From Hell

By Carolyn Elefant

I do not do much in the way of post removals, but a few months ago, I made a mistake in a post, having confused the site Solicitors from Hell (a site that generates no revenue, according to an email from the owner) with Solicitorsfromhell.co.uk, a site that allows clients to post complaints about solicitors and allows firms to pay a fee to seek removal, according to this story.  I suggested that in my opinion, the "fee for removal" could seem like extortion - and Brian Gray, owner of Solicitors from Hell sent an email complaining that I had criticized his site. In reality, I had confused the two.  Despite the emails from Gray, I couldn't figure out my error until he sent a subsequent email to a colleague, where it was stated more clearly.  For the record, I had invited Mr. Gray to post a correction at my site, but he declined, preferring to take this approach. 

As my readers are well aware, I am more than happy to correct mistakes, but I need to understand what they are.  If you feel that I've mis-posted, please send an email explaining the error clearly or give me a call.
