It's not as though he's named. She is the only person who knows who he is, so it's the opinion of one lady on an otherwise nameless, faceless man. This isn't a public shaming. The public has zero idea who this person is.
Odd that you found the focus on his imperfections disrespectful after all this:
The difference being, I guess, is she has a name, and hundreds of people have seen you talk this way about this specific lady who is easily identifiable, and this board is readily searchable on the internet. Should she search, this thread would be discoverable. There are also plenty of people from Edmonton on this board.
So why, exactly, is it disrespectful for her to call an nameless man "partially toothless" and "unemployed" but it's ok for you to call a lady "overweight" and "below average in attractiveness" on an open, public, and very popular forum?
Like... ouch dude.
What would you prefer? Having one person says date with you was "surreal"? Or have a group of men/women on a public forum look at your picture and call you overweight, below average, and state you're a potential match for someone who thinks "looks don't matter"?

I am not sure if you are serious, but you realize that she made it public by going to the nations's largest public media. Any public reaction the story gets is justifiable. Her photo and details were posted by CBC, presumably with her approval. I am not nearly as far reaching as CBC.
As far as anyone knows, the man that they smear didn't have a choice and the descriptions of him might not even be accurate. And while his name might not be public, you are assuming that because of his status, that he must not have social network that won't see this get back to him. Or you are assuming that his feelings somehow don't matter. For all you know, he went home and told his friends that he met a lovely lady and hoped to see her again.
