Careful who you criticise. Last time it was the odious
Alisher Usmanov: this time, so far as we can tell, a Sheffield-based "academic" whose website links to the Neo-Nazi David Duke.
Apparently she doesn't like people pointing this out. Harry's Place is, at time of writing this (7:45pm on Tuesday), down: taken off line after legal threats. Here's the story
in their own words, before the site was taken offline:
Don’t panic if we disappear briefly…
By Brett on Admin
Harry’s Place may be removed (or rather have it’s DNS disabled) after a ‘complaint’ to the company that our domain name is registered with.
We assume after threats were made on the weekend that this ‘complaint’ originates from Jenna Delich or her supporters.
Though we have not yet seen the complaint submitted, we assume it runs along the lines that pointing out that Ms Delich linked to the website of a known neo-Nazi figure and former Ku Klux Klan leader is defamatory.
This is extraordinary since Ms Delich has not denied that she circulated links to David Dukes website. There would be no point since the evidence is in the public domain.
Nevertheless, a malicious complaint has been made to the company hosting our DNS.
We would like to assure readers of Harry’s Place that we are doing everything we can to prevent a disruption, but that - of course - we will not concede any ground. We have posted nothing defamatory, and we stand by the information we have supplied.
ISPs often run scared of UK libel law and malicious complaints are thus common. Sadly, it is a well known - and usually successful - way of censoring websites which publish truths that they’d rather not be generally known.
We ask our readers and supporters in the meantime to publish this information as widely as possible. The disgraceful tactic of dishonest and malicious complaining should not be allowed to succeed.
Those on the UCU list, please also make this know there.
Please spread the word.
If we go down, email us at harryblog at gee mail dot com for updates.
UPDATE: For those who can still see us - we’ve put up an archive of the Delich-related material here, which we will use to post updates on this saga:

UPDATE: A masterful commentary from Will at
Drink Soaked Trots:
Sauce is doon.
Boo hoo.
Good.
Tossers. Fuck them all who post there.
That lot don’t know what solidarity is and that like. Stupid stupid tossers.
Thusly they can all go and fuck off and die like the lawyer scum they are like.
Plus - nobody knows who complained like and even if we did like know like then I still wouldn’t link myself to those scumbags and filth like - my hatred for antisemitic scum is completely independent of their tosser thoughts and actions like.
PS. Is Moralityblog their Fag?
He fucking seems to be. Like.
Enjoy your crumpets dipshits.
Wot they are calling for is empathy - not solidarity (a word of which they know fuck all about and generally piss on). Yes, empathy is wot they mean - the emoting of middle-class-slightly-above-low-brow-dreck cunts. Don’t you also despise these cretins and lice?
Nope - the ’solidarity’ shtick doesn’t work on me. I would have them (Saucebucketfilth) all shot on the spot for drivel peddling to the masses and that. Their empathic gaze that looks upon its object as emotional shit rather than political or social activity with brains (matter that thinks) can go fuck itself backwards. Drizzle boiling oil on the Sauce. Would do it good and that.
Meaning it like.
And some people say that swearing makes for engaging blog posts. Well, there's your counterargument. That's just noise.
