Funny stuff
(This is a cut from SomethingAwful)
To Take Is To Learn: There is a right way and a wrong way to react to criticism. Some people sit quietly and thank whoever is critiquing them when they are done. We like to call those people boring and stupid! A real journalist's job is to defend his points at all time, even if he is wrong. We're talking integrity here, people!
For instance, here are two possible responses to a harsh (but fair) critique. Which would you choose?
Option One: Bob, I don’t agree with every point you made, but there was some valid stuff there and I will keep it in mind. Thanks for reading my work.
Option Two: You know what? I think it's bullshit that you have to single me out every fucking time you read my stuff. You're not the goddamn editor, and you don't have the tits to be my mom. Next time you get snippy with me over some dumb shit like not capitalizing at the start of sentences I'm going to leave a period on your forehead with my cigarette. Then you'll look like the goddamn Hadji you are.
