Calling someone a gross creep is not "defamation"

the tweet i singled out called for people to defame him, not simply call his opinions offensive. I get the feeling you are not really arguing in good faith.

None of "creep", "weirdo" and "probably a chaser" meet the test for defamation under US law, none of them involve making knowingly factually incorrect statements

that's a cop-out. the moral case against saying false things goes beyond the legal test for the tort of defamation. And "probably a chaser" actually might be actionable, depending on context.

No, it really isn't, and trying to impose a very harsh legal restraint on women saying men who interact with them cause them discomfort and fear is not a great position to take politically

I don't think there's any political position that I could take that you couldn't mischaracterize for likes and lol's if you wanted to

You are mischaracterizing the idea of people broadcasting their strong negative emotional reaction to Jesse as though OP were proposing fabricating evidence of crimes

Yes, you were, you called it "defamation" and "actionable", which it is not

Actually I used very precise language, and it wasn't what you claim i said. You misrepresent what people actually say. I guess you get a thrill from it. Doesn't help any victims of oppression to do it, though. You do you.

Fine, "saying false things" None of those things are false - I mean I don't know what I think the balance of probability is that Jesse is a chaser but I have no reason to call people more confident on the matter liars

I am not calling people liars. Indeed, you might find if you got to know me that I have quite high regard for several of Singal's critics (especially Dianna Anderson) despite disagreeing with them. Singal is his own worse enemy when he goes off on some of these folks.
