According to The New York Times, Andrew Anglin, whereabouts unknown, could be on the hook for a bit of cash.

The publisher of a neo-Nazi website should pay more than $14 million in damages for encouraging "an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign" against a woman in 2016, a federal magistrate judge in Montana recommended on Monday.

In his opinion, the judge, Jeremiah Lynch, also recommended that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, be made to remove all blog posts from the website, The Daily Stormer, that encouraged readers to contact the woman, Tanya Gersh, and her family.

Within months of Mr. Anglin's call for a "troll storm" against them, Ms. Gersh and her family had received more than 700 vulgar and hateful messages, many referring to the Holocaust. They temporarily fled their home.

Mr. Anglin did not appear in court, and his location is unknown. He did not respond to an email on Monday requesting comment on the lawsuit. And it was not clear how much money if any could ever be collected from him.

Nice that Andrew has gone back to where he's from, allegedly Thailand.

    Let us suppose that some news source were to publish the names and addresses of every gay in the city, or state?

    Or, they published the names and addresses of every woman who has aborted a baby?

    We all hate pedos, so it's alright to have a registry of pedos, with name, address, and photos, right?

    Basically, what you're saying is, "It's alright to doxx this group that I don't like, but don't doxx anyone else!"

    For someone who has left a trail all over the internets, Runaway1956, I would not make such a big deal out of doxxing, lest it be applied to you. Just some advice from a fellow Soylentil, be more careful.

    Hah, Runaway the illiterate!!!

    I specifically said I think those lists are bad. I agreed with you, but your feelz come before the realz so you only latched on to the criticisms. Dummy indeed.
