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?

He hasn't contradicted himself at all. You think you made a "gotcha" here, and that's probably the most embarrassing thing you've said so far, in a stream of stupid.

No, i saw it. It was just pathetic that you brought that up as if Arthur hadn't literally stated there was a hierarchy already in the thread acting like it was some kind of revelation. You're not embarrassed by that?

Oh, you think having a league table of abuses in the order you are allowed to complain about them is a good thing? Ok, cool. Where’s that clown face emoji again ...

Yes, I do It's why I also don't give much credence to people who log on every day demanding that I condemn the abuse against Donald Trump Do you?

That middle paragraph’s been my point. The list of injustices in the world is long. It’s a good thing people have different order of priorities so different injustices get addressed. Your idea of everyone working down one list (or you will be told off) is absurd. And Puritan.

No, the point is that the abuse JKR is facing is part of the general background noise of being famous and controversial online and isn't particularly unjust at all Making a cause out of condemning it is like raising money to pay a billionaire's taxes

It's not particularly complicated and your attempt to make it into some kind of rhetorical trap is tiresome Of course I don't think it's an actively *good thing* for some handful of random people to actually threaten JKR with death but I also don't think it matters Like, at all

Maybe she doesn't deserve to be told to jump off a cliff and die, in the sense that no human being does, but she also manifestly does not deserve to have a billion dollars and live in a castle And yet here we are
