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

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.

JKR, a transphobic bigot, immorally filed SLAPP lawsuits against people who did not defame her. You've bailed from every single angle you've tried to argue against that statement.

I’ve been pretty clear that I don’t think she’s a transphobic bigot. I’ve seen no evidence to suggest she’s particularly litigious. If she never sued the argument would be ‘well, there’s no smoke without fire’. I think most people, if they are honest, know that.

There's no smoke without fire either way Intimidating people into backing down via SLAPP is not proof of anything and it's disgustingly obvious motivated reasoning to act like it is

This is all happening in public, we can all see the tweets and the essays If you don't want people to think you're a TERF and a bigot the only way to actually change that is to stop saying the things they judge as TERFy and bigoted

The idea that this is what defamation law is for -- fighting "incorrect interpretations" of YOUR WORDS, like me pointing to something I think is transphobic and saying "That's transphobic" is manipulative deception -- is deeply fucked The UK is fucked

Libel and slander laws are supposed to be about stopping people from lying about factual knowledge they claim to possess but do not "I saw his bank account and he's been stealing from the company", "I dated her and I saw her eat a kitten"

Yeah. That’s really not what they’re about in England. More, “here is my money, how’d you like to be bankrupt with no house?”

Yup. Even mere millionaires can’t really afford libel here.
