Skewer on
Someone at SLIS was genuinely surprised to see me laugh out loud over the Malachi Bowles skewering of CavLec. Apparently I’m supposed to be offended.
Sorry, no. Funny is funny, and my verbal crotchets are at least as funny as everybody else’s. And being able to laugh at myself is a fine thing; I wish I’d learned to do it much younger.
Perhaps my interlocutor was correct that Malachi was trying to hurt me. I rather doubt it, but anything’s possible. If that’s the case, what earthly good would letting the arrow strike home do me?
I defer to the almighty Slashdot. “It’s funny. Laugh.”
