I actually love satirical humor...it's my favorite kind (think Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs on Discovery...LOVE him!). I guess, though, for me, satirical humor is at its best when spoken/seen so that the inflection and expressions add to the effect. Sometimes with the written word, it can sometimes be had to tell what is meant literally, what is being presented as satirical (but not really) and was is truly satirical. <br/><br/>Again, I do love your blog for you blogging advice...you have some great tips! Keep them coming. Bloke ~

It goes with the territory, and instead of showing offence we ought to embrace it and appreciate it as a form of flattery. That is what I try to do and my advice to all concerned.<br/><br/>Thanks for bringing this to my attention and giving me the opportunity to explain.

Did you know that satire is considered an artistic form of writing? Not everybody can do it and I happen to be one of the lucky ones.

If you read me regularly then you will know that it is one of the things that I do. Most like it and I’m sorry if you don’t.

You will also notice that I was parodied the other day and I took it look like a good sport.

Unfortunately some a-lister types become thin skinned believing in their own hype, which is why they need a little shot of reality once in awhile.

Using humour is much nicer than just calling them names or being outright nasty don’t you think.

I see nothing wrong with using satire and I believe that if we all learned to laugh at ourselves this world will be a better place to live.

Now be honest, I nailed Darren right on the money (so to speak :)

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it.

Cheers!

I LOVE your advice on blogging...you have some really great insights to give. HOWEVER, your negativity towards other bloggers is getting a little old...you're really just starting to come off like a bitter, old man. I'm sorry, but I really wish that you'd stick to what you say your blog is about - 'Blog Tips, Tools and News' and skip all the bashing. Bloke, I have been reading your blog for several months now.
