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

You don’t think that abuse is ok, phew you’re not *that* awful. But uh oh Arthur ... That means you agree with Jess, because that’s what the letter to the Times said. DM me your accountant’s email address so I can get them to write you a letter about what a naughty boy you are.

Nah I think that drawing attention to the "abuse" and acting like it's some kind of big deal is a politically charged act that is very much not okay I wouldn't sign a letter condemning the "abuse" against Donald Trump either

It’s a politically charged act, that is not ok, to want less abuse on SM. Err, ok ... Sounds like you want to be able to say to me that you don’t think it’s ok so you don’t look like a sucky human, whilst getting cross with other people who also say it’s not ok.

It's not okay but it's on a spectrum In an ideal world it wouldn't happen, in the world as it is, I don't really care If I could do something to magically stop abuse there's hundreds of thousands of poor and isolated trans women I'd stop it for before I gave a thought to Jo

She has a billion dollars, she has employees, she can take care of herself
