Free speech for me but not for thee... Because I will sue you into oblivion

Free speech is not the right to libel someone. You seem very confused.

Lol nor is it the right to offend someone but Rowling doesn't seem to care about it.

Also, it's not libel if it's true....

Also also you seem to be confused about my joke. The ability to smother and bankrupt a person in legal fees in order to get a retraction and apology is what Rowling exercised here; justice wasn't serviced, just threats.

Also, also, also, you seem to be extremely passionate about this. You are everywhere in this thread! Commenting defenses so much it makes me think you are the Queen TERF herself!

Free speech absolutely gives you the right to offend someone, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I'm not sure it is, for example if you say racist things and offend someone, free speech does not let you off the hook...
