impossibly gracious
By Pat Law™ • Mar 11th, 2009 • Category: The Bitch
My words cut, because, ironically, I’m blunt. If you catch me on a bad day, between the lack of coffee and a I-want-this-yesterday request, I will sing a song that kills with bullets for lyrics. The Angry fires back with his or her arm of bullets (I like these, they’re entertaining), the Frightened dodges, and the Dumb comes back for another round through the chest.
Joshua, the impossibly delusional fella I spoke of previously, turns out to be quite a smart chap. He didn’t bite back like the Angry. He didn’t dodge and ignore like the Frightened. And he sure as hell didn’t run back at me asking for another round through the chest. Rather, this is what he did – a new blog born with a gracious response that didn’t care two cents to be on the defensive nor brownnose the critic. Well done, Joshua. You’ve showed us a good example on how to deal with negativity online.
Oh, by the way, I think your blog title’s dead cheesy. But I’ll spare you. Once again, well done.
