Hi /adv/
I'm trying to deal with a scumbag who's harassed my family online. The short version of the story - he runs a "news" website in my hometown, and wrote that a family member is "getting like old yeller" and "maybe it's time to put him down." It's a pretty shitty thing to write.
I've reached out to all of his advertisers and asked them to pull ads. Is there anything else I can do?
Pic related, it's him.

You should talk to a lawyer if you really want to do something about this.
Assuming you're in the USA, yes, there is case law supporting the right to privacy and to be free from harassment. If your family member is a public figure you're really not going to be able to do much about this, but if not, considering that he's running a for-profit website, you have a right to privacy and for him to not exploit you for gain without permission.

The fuck do you care what a local blogger said about anything?

Hmm, okay, what harmful/immoral/greedy/sleazy thing is your family member doing to attract such disdain?
It seems to be a "watchdog" type website.
Is your family member a "public servant" who has been serving themselves first? And for far too long?

Just because someone is an irl troll doesn't mean that you need to feed them

Pretty much this.
If the public at large has no considerable interest in your activities (public service, etc) then he is crossing the line. See: Hogan v. Gawker Media.
