I sent in a complaint! Although, I have to admit, I wasn't sure how to word it. It is just so weird. I just said that I had never even heard of ths ite which they are hosting, that I never posted to it, and my posts are "stolen." Then I 'demanded' that they remove it.
HEY! Here is the reply I received back:
Hello,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble with one of our clients. Certainly, if
you've been libeled or slandered you may have some legal recourse for that
having happened. This legal recourse would be between yourself and our client exclusively, and would be a matter for civil court to decide on. We do not take down websites without an official court order to do so prior to removing a site from our servers. If your attorney is able to obtain an injunction, or other form of court order, please share a notarized copy of that letter with us. If we're able to verify the authenticity of the document, we'll honor the request therein to remove the website from our servers.
Any violation of any person's intellectual property rights, rights of privacy,
rights of publicity or other personal rights is prohibited. We are required by
law to remove or block access to content appearing on or through the Services upon receipt of proper notice of copyright infringement see "Copyright Infringement Notice Information" as stated in our terms of services:

In regards to requests for information on the person who set up the sites, our policy is that we can only give out the information on our customers when it is requested through a subpoena or a court order. Because of our policy we cannot give out this information without a judge's consent.
We will willingly assist by forwarding any and all correspondence received
regarding our customer and complaints in reference to sites we are hosting to
our customer unless legally ordered otherwise.
We apologize for this inconvenience these policies may cause you. We will be
happy to promptly comply when presented with one of the above documents.
