How to snark back

Our friend (and web designer extraordinaire) BJ sent me this link in preparation for the days ahead when people might be a little upset with me for what I’ve written. (You’ll see. Give it a few more months until the advanced reader copies go out.)

What I like about this guy’s style is he takes it like an Aikido master, using the other person’s energy to deflect the blow and send his adversary flying in the opposite direction.

May we all learn to be as adept at handling criticism.

    Patrick, I LOVE that website you linked to. Too hilarious. Hope everyone takes the time to go look at it and decide where they fit in.

    Yeah, that fits. I know who I am, but I’m not telling.

    so many choices–in all honestly i’d have to go with “all of the above”–hah, not! of course it’s kung-fu master–but you all figured that out already.
    p., big cat?–right.
