What a nonpology. She should ask them to donate to Keira Bell's CrowdJustice drive or LGB Alliance lol. Saw some comments by the Twitterati saying how gauche it was for a high-profile signatory of the Harper's letter to sic her lawyers on someone for libel after grandstanding about a commitment to free speech, but I think that's bullshit. Everyone has the right to speak their mind and say their peace--but libel is libel and if you come for the queen, you best come correct with ALLLL the receipts.

"This person is evil because I said do. Agree and invent some reasons why if you don't want to be held back a year." is the opposite of free speech.
