I'm working on the bow and genuflect bit. So far I've progressed to curt nods.

I didn't care for the post either because I do not approve of professionals who at their blogs are sarcastic. I also dislike professionals who try to be funny like they are on the dais of a Dean Martin roast. I strongly believe in professional ethics. Humor does not have to be snark. Snark has jumped the shark. It's just ugly and is almost a morph of lashon hara.

However, why do you have to post as "anonymous?" I always post with my real name. I am happy and proud to own my opinions. I can even make fun of my own opinions at times. I hate snark. This whole city is driven by a dynamic of conflict and it is sickening. Everybody looks to fight with everybody else in sarcastic style. You have hipsters who think they are Don Rickles… all day.

When you post as "anonymous," it is like you are fearful. An opinion should not generate fear. And, when you post as "anonymous," the readers can wrongfully conclude you are somebody else.

P.S. It should be "you're not."
"Your" denotes possession and "you're" is you are.

This attempt at over-the-top snark doesn't suit you. The entire post reads like it was written by someone else and I actually had to scroll up and make sure it wasn't a guest post.

You talk about voice a lot and with this post I felt like you lost yours. Please don't try to be something your not.

I don't think I can handle you both at the same time and then hope to accomplish any serious writing.

I am quitting stand-up… and calling my booker, Gladys, and canceling all of my shows at The Comic Strip. Who needs it? This whole debate has thrown me into a major depression and I am weary and worn out. I can see the bones through my fingertips. I feel like Jack Torrance.

Nobody gets the fine points anyway and I feel like I am teaching a goldfish that 1 + 1 = 2.

I am moving to Century Village, joining Lucy's Friends of the Friendless… and sitting at my computer wearing mittens. It's a hopeless cause.

Early bird specials are starting to sound good.

LMAO

I might laugh at your show. I might not. But I can assure you I wouldn't question the sincerity of those who do laugh.

And on that note, if you really believe humor is subjective, why not assume that the folks who comment here with an "LOL" or admission of coffee-snorting really do find the post funny? It's a wee bit presumptuous to accuse people who apparently have a different sense of humor of being brown-nosers. I like to believe if someone says "that's funny" they really mean it. And if I don't think what they're laughing at is funny, that's okay. I can simply be happy that they're laughing. Laughter is good.

Anyway, it's been an entertaining conversation. Here's hoping you get tons of laughs next time you hit the stage. I'm being sincere. I really do wish you well!

And about the anonymous thing? Witness protection program. Sorry, can't say more.

Have you ever thought of taking your act on the road?

Thanks for that.
