The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?

Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding

The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.

Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:

The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

    I don't condone spamming, but it sure seems like you condone violence against innocent children.

    Consider the bees. I may enjoy poking at their nest with a stick, but the bees don't.

    It seems extremely short-sighted to accuse someone of "condoning violence against innocent children" over my comment rather than taking into account that perhaps the person exploding in rage, while not an exemplary, shouldn't be sent any more spam by the one subsequently threatened.

    Your comment is a sad example of the sort of "you don't agree with me so you must be a NAZI" crippled thinking that is so common nowadays.

      No, you're comment was worthless. Did she spam him again? Was he ever actually spammed? The story isn't about spam, it is about a lawsuit over threats of violence. It is sad that your brain apparently cares more about spouting off some truly pointless "advice".

      Sad that you can not see your own ideological affiliations, the only point to your shitty advice was to water down the point about an actual threat of violence. "Grow up, its just locker room talk" type of bullshit.

      The only case where your point would have had some validity would be if she actually spammed him after his threat. If you can't fathom this then you are either A) stupid or B) actually a neo nazi who is too much of a coward to own up to it. Ok ok, C) mentally unstable and not simply stupid.

        The old adage about you having two ears and only one mouth still applies even though you have two eyes and ten fingers.

        Adults historically didn't get bent out of shape over an aside.

          If that makes you feel better, we all have our psychological crutches.

        Actually, he's just a troll. And not a very good one at that.
