Blog Humility Lesson

Tom 95 words

Today’s lesson in blog humility: Don’t forget that real, flesh-and-blood human beings can read your blog, even long after you’ve completely forgotten what you’ve written. If, for example, you hastily whip off a snarky personal criticism about someone from another state that you read about somewhere in the news, there is a distinct possibility that a year or so later they will read what you wrote and not be very happy about it. Then you’ll be really embarrassed about your callous insensitivity to their plight. Of course, that’s just me — your mileage may vary.
