"Decorum", "civility", and "rudeness" norms are just PC cultures that spare the sensitivities of the powerful.
Most institutions are safe spaces for the powerful, kept free of triggers and microaggressions for local top dogs.
This is the essential hypocrisy of anti-PCness.

Or this is right and you have a rosy-eyed view of what "shared" means when power is in the picture.
Kevin's article is great and your reference to it makes no sense. Personhood is orthogonal here. Power *is* the ability to decide whose personhood gets prioritized.
