I’ve seen that explanation. And while it’s certainly true that some people QT to ridicule, many others use the tool to further the discourse in a productive way—and that furtherance isn’t simply a “reply” to the original post.

I think I’m missing something—what is dehumanizing about using a person’s middle name?

I have reached the stage in the semester in which I am repeatedly misspelling my own name.
