I received an email, my first from—and I say this without disparaging trolls in general—a troll that sounded like the inside of my shower drain. He felt personally attacked because my writing referenced “some old white dude” as shorthand for “the dominant, prevailing worldview in our Western culture, which would benefit from an infusion of valuing other perspectives.” Of course, understanding that subtext would require critical reading skills, or any reading skills at all.
