Nasty. I'd advise you to advertise such bad netizen behavior and
encourage the readership to protect themselves by shunning the abuser.

If you can prove the libelous nature you claim then complain. The blog
hosts and resource providers, and the bloggers ISP have an obligation to
disconnect them, and often leave themselves grounds in contracts to do so.

Squid is a proxy not a web server. It does not alter a single byte of
the content in transit beyond the basic compression/decompression
required to send something. End-to-end the content remains accurate.

What you are asking us to advise on is an illegal copyright violation.
Sorry, can't help any further.
