Here's an objective truth: JK Rowling has done more good in the world than you or I will EVER do. Not only has she brought a lot of joy to a whole bunch of people through her insanely popular Harry Potter series, but she's the rarest kind of millionaire you can find: the kind that USED to be a billionaire....until she donated away so much money to charities that she got downgraded.
And despite this, she receives a pretty good amount of abuse online - which isn't TOO surprising, given she's a politically-vocal celebrity on Twitter, but is still something of a bummer when you look at how ANGRY complete strangers are at a person they've never met and has never done them any harm. Luckily, JK Rowling is a pretty stellar writer, and as such has become the queen of comebacks - particularly in 2017, where (due to the political climates in both the US and the UK) she has really let loose.
Of course, not everything is politically-minded comebacks - some of it is just plain ol' ragging on idiots:

Lady, if you think the deaths of vulnerable African women are a suitable subject for a pussy joke, you'd better hope there's no hell. http://pic.twitter.com/PYhAKD0eFG

Unless you're actually a hooded chihuahua, I'm pretty sure I win on the 'not hiding' front. I quite like 'old whore', though. #Shakespearean http://pic.twitter.com/0pIEVfrGn7

I think you mean 'shudder', unless there's a biblical character called Shutter I've forgotten. http://pic.twitter.com/x1uOy6n3BH

Well, the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I've still got your money, so by all means borrow my lighter. http://pic.twitter.com/kVoi8VGEoK

Guess it's true what they say: you can lead a girl to books about the rise and fall of an autocrat, but you still can't make her think. http://pic.twitter.com/oB7Aq6Xz8M

And it's not limited to just random Twitter trolls sending her abuse on a daily basis - JK Rowling knows who her real foes are...the people who are actually IN POWER:
So remember: troll in the dungeon? Call JK Rowling.
