“You Have No Dignity.”

“Um, you’ve never met me.”

Oldie but a funny one.

I’ll keep this short and won’t belabor the obvious points about relatively-faceless online communication, which is flawed and anger-driven too often.

Here’s the set-up: last week, I wrote a post about Katrina K. after she dragged me on an email blast of hers. Some of the post is stupid, for sure, but the core idea — that it’s hard to preach and practice inclusion and then talk shit on people who don’t fit into your molds and boxes — is still there. I got dragged by a bunch of people online for this post (predictably), including this gem last night as I was making dinner:

“Unbearably low standards” feels very tolerant of others, and very inclusive and nice and all that. It’s very HR-speaky, isn’t it?

Anyway, someone else on the same thread — since deleted — told me I had “no dignity.”

The person who said that has:

• Never met me once in-person.
• Never had a conversation with me.
• I think we’ve maybe exchanged two emails ever.
• Possibly did a few…
