If you don't think she is please don’t post. Please can you tell me specifically what she has said or done that is so bad. I promise that I will listen and not argue. If you could include links that would be great. If your inclination is to assume that I’m posting in bad faith and any reasonably well informed person must be stupid or bigoted not to know, then please just let the thread die.

She could be addressing things like child poverty, she could be helping people like Marcus rashford did. I just find it all quite sad that the elite in this country focus on the divisive rhetoric rather than actually trying to improve things.

I’m hoping, genuinely, to understand. Because, genuinely, I don’t.

But do you understand that you have started a thread inviting only views from those who are likely inclined to abuse her? Ie. no balancing posts because you stated you don’t want to those who don’t believe she is ‘awful’ to post.

As I said it is probably not your intention, but that is what you are inviting with your OP.

But she does loads of stuff. What does she say that you think is sad?

I will bite. I dont like her because she comes across as she thinks her opinions are worth more because she is rich and a successful author. Compare her tosomebody like Val Mcdermid who comes over as a really down to earth and nice person. . That hasn't got an inflated ego because of success.

Did you mean to start a thread that invited people to abuse JK Rowling? I understand that it is not your intention, but will be the logical outcome ?

I don’t think that’s what the OP intends.

JK gets such abuse but nobody can ever come up with “evidence” of her transgressions.

OP are you looking for those who don’t like her to provide the evidence for why they formed those opinions? If so you’ll be left waiting!

I don’t think she’s as awful as a lot of people seem to.

I just think it’s kind of sad. She has so much money, and she spends all her time on such a minuscule issue compared to what the country is facing. She could do so much good for the nation, and she won’t.

I know your name from around, @CurlewKate and appreciate you’re posting in good faith, but am inclined to agree with @Helleofabore about the likely outcome.
