Tim Cushing almost wins a classic strawman argument, but nowhere does Domagalski say that "having only a website and a Facebook page" disqualifies someone from being a journalist, as Cushing implies that he said.
Cushing might want to give thoughtful consideration, though, to Domagalski's observation that "When you engage in repeated unethical conduct, your character is revealed, and people should weigh that in their decision about whether they rely on you for news."
"public shaming is always going to make more sense here than going legal." is pretty silly when you are up against a goliath like Facebook. What bully pulpit do you have access to that will match Facebook ?
"In the US, at least, this kind of lawsuit would almost certainly fall flat (quickly)." is an indictment of the oligarchical US legal system where the ad hominem fallacy rules and the "right people" always win.
