      The idea that no crime is committed until the court decides it is actually beyond horrible. For example, the idea that marital rape really isn't rape when the law says it isn't is, well pretty evil.

      There's different levels of legal realism Like, there's the statutory level, and the argument over whether it makes sense to argue that something "objectively is" a crime (or "objectively should be" a crime, not quite the same thing) when the law clearly says it isn't

      There's very few people who would say that the law as it is perfectly reflects the law as it should be (or there'd be no need for lawmakers)

      Whether that means the law-as-it-should-be "exists" (and it's meaningful to say "It was a crime even though it was legal") is this philosophical thing

      What FnP is arguing, about legal realism on the case-by-case level -- objectively speaking there is no individual crime until you've been convicted of it -- is very disturbing to me on a different level

      Which is why I said the relevance of murder to defamation is tenuous at best. Philosophically it’s interesting but that’s about it. Practically the conflation of criminal law with civil law isn’t that illuminating.

      Uh, no, in both cases either something actually happened or it didn't, both things are statements about the real world All court judgments, ideally, should be statements about the real world and things that actually happened, it doesn't matter whether it's civil or criminal

      "Ideally", of course, being the key term As someone who rejects fluffy idealism I'm sure you're just fine with the idea that the lower burden of proof in civil trials means Ms. Rowling should be able to extract apologies from anyone who pisses her off because judges like her

      I mean yeah in one sense talking shit about JKR as this act of rebellion is pointless because I live in the US and I'm covered by the First Amendment and the 2010 SPEECH Act so it proves nothing legally that she doesn't try to sue me

      But as an idealist to some degree it offends the fuck out of me that her shitty fans get to point to her critics' coerced abjection and apologies as *evidence she was actually morally in the right* It's viscerally offensive as fuck to watch them say that

      So, yes, watching them impotently sputter "Sue this man! Sue that lady! Sue everyone!" and it just not happening when people call her out on Twitter matters In a very small way, it matters It's the principle of the thing

          Why does it matter. I’m not following your point.

          It's a demonstration that the definition of "defamation" isn't whatever a billionaire's lawyers say it is

          The thing I find particular funny about MissFluffy is that she clearly doesn't believe in anything. Look how many times the story has changed, and how many arguments she's had to eject from because even she knows that everything she says is BS. Yet, she just keeps trying anyway.

          Such as? I mean we have a basic disagreement about whether it is possible to identify ‘defamatory statements’, rather than suggest a court may find a statement defamatory. But that’s about it.
