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

Cool, can you send me the league table of abuse so I can’t work my way down it? Wouldn’t want to get anything in the wrong order, lest my accountant tell me off.

How about anyone who's being "abused" because they became widely disliked for their bigotry goes on the bottom JKR can hang out with Mel Gibson

Ha ha, so now the abuse is ok because she said some things you disagreed with? Arthur, before you said it wasn’t ok. Make your mind up! Or you seriously think people have to have a list of abuse (in the order you set) that they have to work down?

I told you, it's a spectrum It's bad that anyone gets abused but the abuse that happens to most ordinary people online is worse than what happens to her

And yeah I do think there's a "list" in fact Online abuse happens to everyone, and if you are particularly moved to action by abuse that happens to one particular person who happens to be extraordinarily wealthy and privileged, then you're not really worried about abuse

It's like if you were holding a fundraiser for Brad Pascale's bail and then tried to argue you were doing it because you're just generally against the US's abusive system of cash bail No one would buy it
