This whole argument against Cohen suing anyone is an example of the "small penis" defence.
Bottom line is that Port defamed Cohen so she (Port) deserves all she gets. Cohen couldnt get an apology or a retraction outside of court because Port deliberately hid behind anonymity in order to prevent Cohen from getting one. You say there would have been zero chance of anyone coming across the attack on Cohen if she hadnt sued, but Techdirt had no problem finding out about them didnt it? And could Port justify her comments about Cohen or not?
Defending your reputation in court is always a gauntlet because the libeller and other malicious onlookers will always use it as an opportunity to repeat the libel and exploit the victim's discomfort for their own personal enjoyment. That doesnt make Cohen wrong for going to court and Google doesnt need Techdirt's help to defend its constitutional rights.
