If I were an accountant I wouldn't want to do taxes for someone who wrote a letter supporting racial segregation, or in favor of banning abortion

That’s nice Arthur. I guess we get to the point where someone who wrote this is equivalent to supporting racial segregation sometime soon, right? Or are we still playing the boy who cried transphobe?pic.twitter.com/OCrjy0GqVj

And, of course, Jess’s accountant didn’t write to lecture her over that statement. She lectured her over a letter to the Times that said abuse like this was wrong:https://medium.com/@rebeccarc/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-activists-a-story-in-screenshots-78e01dca68d …

You're making two VERY different arguments. Are you saying that 'accountants shouldn't lecture clients about their politics' or that 'JKR's politics don't deserve a lecture'? Is this about free speech, or is this about the content of her views?

Accountant has the right to withdraw their business if they wish. Doing so, and doing it with a lecture, when all someone has done is defend someone else from that abuse I linked to? Course it’s their right, but it’s Puritan.

you're dodging the question. If she did all this to a person who'd said something you find really awful--like, say, endorsing segregation--would you still have a problem with it?

Zachery, I’m talking about what actually happened here. Do you think this abuse is ok? https://medium.com/@rebeccarc/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-activists-a-story-in-screenshots-78e01dca68d … If yes, ugh. If no, send me your accountant’s deets so I can get them to send you a stern telling off.

I don't think it's "okay" but when it's the result of a billionaire celebrity attacking a vulnerable minority I don't think it's worth getting upset over, like that's the serious issue at hand and not what she said and did

Donald Trump gets horrific abuse on Twitter like this all the time! Plenty of people saying awful things I wouldn't defend - not just wishing him dead or wishing sexual violence on him but saying things that cross over the line into bigotry toward others

People using ableist slurs against him, people going after his ancestry in a way that crosses over into xenophobia, etc I literally do not care I don't read it and I don't think about it and it doesn't matter to me

Anyone famous enough to make people mad is going to have shitty people saying things like that about them It's less important than the actual reason they made people mad
