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.

    Nazi Germany was defeated. No surrender really necessary, they were utterly defeated. The survivors surrendered. You are grasping at straws here.

    How ironic that a person who styles himself as a philosopher believes that an idea, or philosophy, or belief can be excised from humanity. You shouldn't even hope that such a thing is possible. If it were, the idea would still be there, to be re-discovered a few generations down the road. And, since the rest of humanity has forgotten about Nazism, the fresh discovery will meet no resistance.

    Be thankful that mankind has a memory, and be thankful that some small number of idiots are enthralled by this idea of supremacy.

    And, no, the Nazis aren't taking over. Because you are so very fearful of Nazis, you see them everywhere. They hide in your closet, they hide under your bed, they are at every protest, they're watching you at the airport.

    Fear can be a useful tool, but in your case, fear rules you. If you can conquer your fear, you will realize that Nazis are a powerless bunch of losers and posers. They can't even convince themselves that they have power, but they've convinced you.

    #RunawayFondledMe And it wasn't the first time. He is of the Roy Moore school of thought, but only more toward prepubescent boys! Runaway, you pederast!

      See your optomoligist. You're confusing me with Aristarchus. He does kinda look like me - two legs, two arms, a torso and a head. But, I'm much better looking. I'm also the bigger asshole. Aristarchus is just a wannabe asshole.
