Criticise and debate and boycott all you like, but when they start sending emails to publishers, and harassing employers, and trying to drag all the newspapers and forcing a comment from celebrities to solidify an "us vs them" approach, you've dragged the world into your argument for the purpose of utterly destroying someone. Its no longer a debate or 'consequences' but pure spite and hate, a no rules vendetta.

For someone like JKR it could be water off a multi-millionaires ducks back

but for a few examples, where their only crime is "liking" a tweet or not-making a comment, or even just plain ignorance they've then been sacked and being reported and lobbyed against by a contingent of brainless scumbags

imagine losing your job, having your reputation tarnished, being dragged across media and elsewise, losing your income and if you're in the US potentially your healthcare, for thoughtcrime?

No, that tulip is *cancelling*, and it is utterly abhorrent.

But, who has not had the value of experience that a regular sporting event where 40k people are shouting "**** the pope" at you?

Most of us, I'd guess.

"just a bunch of whiny gits whose intellectual argument is so weak, and whose emotional resilience is so fragile, that they'll scream and scream and scream until they get what they want"

Sounds like the ERG

And the other "half" singing Irish Rebel songs?

When I go out for a beer with my friends in Glasgow, the first question is "So John, which team do I support in here, then?"
