The fallout from this tweet last night was a sight to behold.

Honestly, that woman's faith in humanity must be on the bloody floor.

These idiot people who jump on any old misogynistic bandwagon are legion.

The foot shooting muppetry of them aiming it at one of the worlds bestselling authors, isn't lost on me.

I wonder what the lead in time is of her seeing it on Twitter, and weaving it into chapter 6.

I love that s/he is reduced to asking to be directed to the tweet (singular), having previously ranted about transphobic tweets!

DrivingCadillacsInOurDreams, on twitter, and on other social media, "receipts" are online proof of something that someone has claimed, so in the case of JKR, when she asks for "receipts" relating to the claims against her, she's asking for screenshots, weblinks, etc that are supposed to show her being hateful towards trans people.

This is amazing.

Hilarious. These people are so thick.

Also good news - a tweet from the Bookseller: "Robert Galbraith’s The Ink Black Heart has made an indelible impression on the UK Official Top 50, soaring into the number one spot in its first week on 50,738 copies sold."

By the way, don't read the thread if you are planning to read the book because a TRA has attempted to sabotage it by revealing the name of the killer.

For the naive among us, what does she mean, 'receipts please'? I get the gist of the thread but don't understand that?

And yes, completely expect it to be something obvious that's gone over my head!

She handles things with such grace and style.
