If I were to say that you were a crap reporter and the LA Times would be better off hiring a donkey, that would be criticism and covered by the letter. If I were to call you a racist, responsible for war crimes in the Congo, that would be libellous and not covered by the letter.

And there we go "Calling someone a racist" is libel in these people's eyes, they think the word "racist" is this horrific weapon to deploy that's far worse than just saying someone is a jerk or an idiot Deep white insecurity

Being wrongly accused of racism and/or bigotry is of course horrific, and so much worse than being called a jerk or an idiot that it's laughable to suggest otherwise. And I appreciate the irony of you ending your daft tweet with a racist insult. Kudos.

Though interestingly, he jumped on the word "racist" but not the war criminal bit of the sentence.

Yes because no one accused JK Rowling of that so that part just makes you come off as a histrionic fool
