Late last month, writer Dana Schwartz tweeted about her “quarantine hair”:

L.A.-based freelance journalist Joseph Fenity tweeted this response:
cool?

At this point, you’re probably wondering why we’re doing a story on this. Stick with us. We promise there’s a reason.
Ken Klippenstein, a writer for the Nation, responded to Fenity’s tweet like so:
Your hair looks like a putting green pic.twitter.com/RT3jLhRqeN

Now, before we go any further, we’ll just say that Klippenstein had no good reason to take a swipe at Fenity’s looks. Totally juvenile move on Klippenstein’s part.
That said, does it make Klippenstein a “superbully”? According to Fenity, the answer is yes. So much yes that it’s worth writing a melodramatic essay over:
Hey @fenity, if you’re gonna tattle on me to my employer, maybe don’t do it in a hilariously pathetic email I can post on here pic.twitter.com/ta0EYbQSSk
— Ken Klippenstein (@kenklippenstein) August 6, 2020
It’s hard to be super-sympathetic to Fenity’s plight when he pulls something like that.
And especially when he pulls something like this:
I refuse to believe that @katrinanation or anyone at @thenation could ever be OK with this employee’s reckless behavior. https://t.co/ET9F40ya5A https://t.co/HylzLSPQBy

“Guy insulted my hairline so he deserves to be fired” is an interesting new societal development.
But, believe it or not, it gets even better. Take a look at some of Fenity’s own greatest hits:

Joseph, here, appears to have a problem.
This asshole is the *president* of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (@nlgja), be a shame if you brought this tweet and others like it to their attention https://t.co/dPYjuqT3tM
