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

So online abuse is as normal, as to be expected, as taxes? You are welcome to seek to normalize it if you wish. I think it is a bad thing, and saying so is ok And that if saying it is a bad thing results in a stern letter from your accountant, you have a Puritan accountant.

Treating it as normal for everyone else until it happens to your special celebrity friend who, alone among mortals, apparently doesn't deserve it IS normalizing it

Like JFC these people are obviously talking out of both sides of their mouth here They say that even people who disagree with JKR should "condemn the abuse" because it's wrong when it happens to "anyone" But THEY certainly don't condemn it when it happens to "anyone"

You want me to take you seriously and consider signing your stupid open letter condemning abuse of JK Rowling? How about you sign an open letter condemning the abuse against Owen Jones You know, the guy who was actually physically assaulted for his political views
