      I'm histrionic. Says the gentleman screaming at me that I'm a 'fucking dipshit,' a 'fucking turd' and every other playground insult he can dredge up. Stay classy you self-described genius. 😂

      These are all, as Bryan helpfully reminded us, examples of insults that are matters of opinion and therefore cannot be legally actionable in a defamation suit, as opposed to his bizarre example of accusing someone of murdering civilians during wartime

      Replying to @arthur_affect @VincentFletcher and

      To be fair, I wouldn't say that calling someone racist or transphobic falls within the same purview as, say, calling them an idiot. It's an insult, but it's one which clearly implies a sufficiently specific factual assertion as to have a meaningful truth value.

      That said, that vagueness ought to mean it's only actionable if the claim being made is clearly incorrect, which is not the case here. No reasonable person would say "JKR is so obviously not a transphobe that no good faith interpretation of her actions would suggest she is one".

      Perhaps not, but if you are grouped in with proven bigots in a published article in a lazy 'as with Picasso, Dali etc...' manner, it's a pretty clear attack.

      Replying to @VincentFletcher @arthur_affect and

      I'm not arguing that it's not an attack, though -- I'm arguing that any reasonable person would at the barest minimum concede that it's a reasonable thing to believe and confidently assert, and should thus not be libellous on that basis alone.

      It's not libellous period Saying that JK Rowling is in some implied sense in the same category as Picasso and Wagner is not in any sense actionable It does not make any reference to specific facts that could be found objectively true or false It is an assessment of character

      Hell, look at the idea of putting Wagner and Picasso together with each other Two people who were "canceled" for very different reasons -- one because of his expressed political views (frothing antisemitism), one because of his sordid personal life (preying on underage girls)

      Without trying to make it a contest of which one is "worse" than the other, they are clearly qualitatively different Either Picasso or Wagner could sue, under these expansive grounds for libel, for being put with the other

      Picasso could go "You're implying I'm some kind of right-wing reactionary and I'm firmly a leftist and always have been" Wagner could go "You're implying I'm a sexual predator and the only woman I've been with is my wife, whom I've never treated badly"

      Obviously the point of putting the two of them together is to make the category "People who are judged for various and unrelated reasons as BAD PEOPLE" And JKR is in the absurdly narcissistic position of arguing "You can't put me in that category unless you can PROVE I'm bad"
