Memo to Twitter trolls: Do not fuck with J. K. Rowling

Attention, trolls: you abuse J. K. Rowling at your peril.

Twitter user Steve Josiah (@sjosiah0) apparently thought the Labour Party's losses in this week's UK election were a good occasion on which to send the writer a creepy, misogynistic message crowing over the election:

Rowling's reply was perfect:

.@sjosiah0 The Internet doesn’t just offer opportunities for misogynistic abuse, you know. Penis enlargers can also be bought discreetly.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 8, 2015

For those of you who don't speak fluent Twitter Burn, that was the world's most successful living author generously advising a hate-spewing troll on where to obtain remedies for his distressingly small penis.

It's difficult to say for sure, because his account appears to have been suspended, but one assumes Josiah has taken Rowling's generous advice to heart and is now devoting his time to online activities that offer greater potential for self-improvement.
