The whole point of the free exchange of the ideas is to allow the evil s*** some sunshine and allow others to oppose it. You're not taking into account the others to oppose it side.

For some reason JK Rowling feels she needs to get into the transsexual debate. As if she has any standing. ooh, that's skeeevy, let's say some nasty s*** because I write Harry Potter.

Harry Potter won't be canceled. She'll keep on getting to make money. And even if Harry Potter goes away in a poof of cultural revolution, she already made her money. And people will continue to say bad things about her because she's an a****** in that area as far as they are concerned.

It works both ways. She chose to use her platform to say some nasty s*** and people are responding.

Think about how we deal with assholes on this site. There comes a moment where we set our phasers to shun. We do exactly what we should be doing, don't pay attention to the assholes. What you see happening here is simply society writ large during the same exact thing.
