@Mordko

Generalising from the approach you are taking I get:

If a person is falsely accused of any action then they must be innocent of all of wrong-doing.

Do you feel this accurately captures ypur position about accusations or implications that JKR is, around one or more issues, a bigot?

@skua if someone is using deliberate, malicious lies to try and smear a person, its a very strong indication that all the muck being thrown should be ignored and that the accuser is a) a liar and b) real bigot.

So let's take the instance of the world's besr known anti-semite.

Muck, in the form of false accusations that when enraged he would fall to the ground and start chewing on the carpet, was thrown at him.

Seems if one was to apply the method you use for JKR to his case then the farstinkenen person would best be considered not to have done anything blameworthy at all.

Thanks for chatting.

I'll leave you here with time and space in which you could consider things.
