Here's a short story:

A certain member of my local hackerspace runs a web-service that returns racist content and nazi-symbolism.

Member gets evicted from the hackerspace and his membership cancelled by democratic vote.

Member sues the hackerspace for public defamation.

Hackerspace is running break-even and can barely afford attorneys and legal advice.

I really, really need to contain myself at this point, but someone truly deserves a can of whoop-ass.

@fribbledom Your immediate problem has a useful aspect: it can be solved with money.

Consider something like a gofundme or an indiegogo. There are a few people out there who aren't too keen on nazis, and may be willing to toss you a couple of bucks.
