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.

    Yes, there is. And a hint of the actual situation is right there in the summary. This bitch was going after Richard Spencer's -MOTHER- in real life for the crime of being Richard Spencer's mother. So Anglin called in an troll strike on the bitch. Spencer and Anglin are semi-allies, sometimes working together, sometimes arguing. But Spencer had no way to defend himself against such an attack and Anglin is an Internet Troll of great repute and can call up more of his kind so he did.

    I'm confused. Based on the information I've seen (if you have additional information, I'd love to look at it), Spencer's mother contacted Gersh and asked her to go to her property and make some recommendations.

    She apparently did so, and even negotiated a smaller commission for herself, after being asked by Spencer's mother to sell the property for her.

    So how exactly was it that "This bitch was going after Richard Spencer's -MOTHER-"?
