Jon, thank you again for sharing these words with me, and letting me share them here. Much food for thought. I too had a twinge of ‘ouch’ at the reminder appeal responsibly to the emotions. If you’ve got skill as a writer and know how to touch people’s buttons – you need to use it with care.

Robert, I’m glad you found it of value. Jon is a writer who always manages to get me think deeper, differently, harder.

Brad, although humor can hurt it can also bring so much fun and laughter into the world. As far as I can see you always use it with good intention. That’s the most powerful sense I get from reading your blog anyway.

Hi Jon, As a writer who often tries to inject humor into his work, I find your post a welcome reminder that humor can hurt, which is never a good outcome. I need to always keep that in mind. Your words today demonstrate how the pen is truly mightier than the sword. A lot of responsibility is required to handle either instrument!
