On Evites

I have never sent an evite. Not gonna lie, my name's been attached to one or two in the past. But there is really a problem with evites. The thing is, it is not an invitation to a particular person, but rather to a mess of people. I don't like going to places where just large numbers of people are wanted; I prefer to be in situations where I, as a particular person, am wanted. People who send evites are essentially saying, "Come along if you like. It was no trouble to add your name to this list and you're just as wanted as the next person." It is a democratizing, impersonal, and, frankly, abhorrent manner of invitation, if we can even call it that.
