A blog is public, though, so it's arguably akin to libel (*if* you'd said
anything libellous, that is). I'm not a lawyer, so I haven't the faintest
idea whether saying that this minister refused to engage with you is
libellous (I can't see anything else which might even come close).

Just be thankful you're not in Iran! <g>

This is true, be thankful for small mercies.

Well I will see what happens.

Just to clarify for people who don't know me, I am actually an atheist
but regardless of this
I don't like the idea that any religion can seek to control belief or
dissent from belief by using the law.
I think this issue is on topic for this group

Why does God need lawyers anyway if he so big and powerful?

Interestingly until today hardly anyone ever read that article the
complaint has been about (according to Google Analytics).
It ranks highly in Google under the church name which may be the
reason behind the complaint, but in practice it can't have had any
negative effect as nobody has been reading it and its clearly only my
opinions anyway.
