How not to disagree with someone

I’ve certainly taken jokes too far, poked fun at people, played dirty while arguing, thrown elbows, given low blows, picked low-hanging fruit, made ad hominem attacks, and gone there. But that? That’s broken. You don’t have to agree with Kathy Sierra — you don’t even have to like her — but by God you will treat her with the same respect you treat any other person in this world.
