I'm not certain about Australian libel laws but that paragraph is getting pretty damn close.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    What a little shit that Jackson Ryan is. I'm going to complain about this.

    "Holmes, the virologist at the University of Sydney, has collaborated closely with researchers in China and co-authored a highly cited Nature Medicine paper supporting the natural origin theory in March 2020. Bostickson has dubbed him a "Chinese puppet," and others have suggested that Holmes, with researchers working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology including Shi Zhengli, conspired to keep the origins of the pandemic a secret. Holmes has blocked many of the Drastic members on Twitter because member's tweets have descended into personal attacks." Well this is in fact shit. Ryan is from Sydney right?

    It's hard to count the number of journalistic ethical standards this violates.

    I'm so fucking angry but it's 1 am here and I need to sleep. He says that the attacks on Rosanna are lies but makesno such qualification for me. There will be hell to pay tomorrow. I've never had contact with Shi in my life.

    I'll probably email him - but not worth losing sleep over. Safe it for the first cup of coffee tomorrow morning. Or beer :beer:
