And that's not even to say that a lot of those people don't exist. Sort of like... woodlice exist... and they're going to start crawling out from under your skirting board if you don't keep the floorboards dry, and they'll keep coming.

I'm not feeling very charitable about people after this weekend apparently .

Come on dude. No one has talked more about the nuance around these issues than we have, but there is no nuance about how this happened. It's not her first Olympics, yet this is the first problematic one. JK Rowling and her merry band of far right affiliates haven't shown a single curious thought on this.

I don't doubt that you see it as a complex issue, but you weren't the one screaming about her to begin with.
