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.

    Also, punch a Nazi in the face. They are the enemy of humanity, and specifically the enemy of the United States of America.

    That's odd - aren't you doing much the same thing that the Daily Stormer is being sued over?

    No, like the lawyers in the article, you have to track down Anglin all on your own, if you can. But I have no trouble justifying self-defense against Nazis. I remember when those bastards invaded Athens.

      Hunting down a Nazi to punch him in the face is not self defense. Stop talking stupid.

        How about hunting down Nazis, snatching them and spiriting them back to Israel to stand trial for crimes against humanity, and being Banality of Evil [wikipedia.org]?
